Best Grilled Shrimp With Garlic Red Chile Thyme Marinade Recipes

CHILE-GARLIC MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Zest and juice 2 of the limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon zest and about 1/4 cup juice) and add to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the fish sauce, canola oil, sugar, red pepper flakes and shrimp. Toss to combine.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime into wedges and reserve for serving.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, grill the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a large plate.
• Top with the sliced scallions and cilantro and serve with the lime wedges.

GRILLED THAI CHILE GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Put the shrimp into a glass bowl. Whisk the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and pour 1/2 to 2/3 if it over the shrimp. (Reserve the remaining marinade to brush on the shrimp during grilling.) Allow the shrimp to marinate for only 8 to 10 minutes or the lime juice will begin to "cook" the shrimp. Grill the shrimp, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side while brushing with the reserved marinade. I use a silicone brush. Remove the shrimp from the grill to a platter and serve garnished with lime wedges.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CHILE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high heat. (If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a cast-iron skillet over high heat, with the vent on, following the same timing.) Using a Microplane or the small holes of a box grater, grate the garlic and chile into a medium bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, salt and baking soda. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Clean the grates with a grill brush (no need to grease the grates), then grill the shrimp until well browned, 2 to 4 minutes. (If using a gas grill, close the lid to maintain temperature.) Flip and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes. Eat right away.
