 Honey Garlic Shrimp | Status Approved | | Name |  Honey Garlic Shrimp | | Category | Fish & Seafood | | Serves/Yields | 4 main dish servings | | Source | Kate's own | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 30-40 minutes | | Cook Time | 30 minutes including shrimp | | Introduction | | This is a sauce I developed to use on grilled shrimp. It also makes a wonderful glaze for ham or pork. These shrimp make a nice hot appetizer as well as a great dinner. Add to an oriental style salad for a delicious new taste.I usually serve this dish with saffron rice and a crisp green salad or grilled vegetables. | | Ingredients | | 1 cup honey
1/4 cup water
6 large garlic_cloves , peeled and crushed
1/2 tsp cayenne_pepper or to taste
1/8 tsp sea_salt
( Makes about 1 cup of sauce)
2 pounds medium sized shrimp (allow 6 to 8 per person) peeled and de veined with tails on.
Bamboo skewers soaked in cold water. Note: Bamboo skewers will keep the shrimp in place so they don't spin as they will on metal skewers. Cover tips with aluminum foil so they don't burn.
| | Directions | | Step: 1 | In a heavy saucepan bring the honey and water to a boil. Add garlic, cayenne and salt and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes. I peel the shrimp while the sauce is cooking so I can watch that it doesn't get to dark and develop a burnt taste.Sauce should have a layer of golden bubbles on top that cannot be stirred down. Leftover sauce can be strained and offered as a dipping sauce or stored in the fridge in a glass container up to 2 months. | | Step: 2 | Thread 4 shrimp on each skewer. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place on a cookie sheet or tray. With a pastry or BBQ brush, coat shrimp lightly on each side with the sauce. Oil BBQ grill to keep shrimp from sticking. Grill shrimp over low to medium coals about 4 minutes per side. Baste lightly with sauce as they cook.
Stay with these as they cook because due to the sugar content in the sauce they will burn quickly. | | Nutrition Information | | Not available |
