Grilled Jumbo Shrimp With Citrus Sauce Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. Vegetable oil Grated zest of 1 orange Grated zest of 1 lime
- 1 Tbsp. Fresh basil, chopped Or possibly
- 1/2 Tbsp. Dry basil
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme, chopped Or possibly
- 1/2 tsp Dry
- 1 lb Extra-large shrimp, about 18 shells removed, cleaned
- 1 Tbsp. Vegetable oil
- 3 c. Vegetable, (use artichokes, fennel, red bell pepper, and zucchini) cut into 1/2-inch-wide sticks about 2 inches long
- 1 x Clove garlic, chopped Salt and grnd black pepper
- 3 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. Orange juice
- 1 Tbsp. Grapefruit juice
- 1 Tbsp. Lime juice
- 2 Tbsp. Honey
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon-style mustard
Directions
- For the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add in the shrimp and marinate for about 3 hrs. (Note the recipe states to marinate at room temperature, but I would not leave it out for which amount of time.
- The safest thing to do is to marinate in the refrigerator.)
- When the marinating time is over, make the vegetable saute/fry. In a saute/fry pan over medium heat, hot the oil. Add in the vegetables and garlic; saute/fry for 4 min, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Add in the balsamic vinegar and continue cooking for 1 minute more.
- To make the citrus vinaigrette, combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk to dissolve the honey.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade and grill or possibly broil for 2 min on each side.
- Divide the sauteed vegetables among 6 salad plates, put 3 shrimp on top of each, and pour on the citrus vinaigrette.
