Spicy Grilled Jalapeño and Lime Shrim

Devil'D Egg

Last night I tried a variation of a Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Kabobs that we have previously prepared. I did a very nice spicy jalapeño and lime marinade from Cooks Country. The recipe calls for running the marinade through a food processor, however I left the jalapeños finely chopped. I was trying to reduce how spicy the shrimp became.



Turning the skewers after 4 to 5 minutes.



Last to prepare my plate (notice not many asparagus’ were left).



This attempt did not have as much kick to it as I was hoping. Next time, I am going to process the ingredients for the marinade. It will take some experimenting as I don’t want to get the meal too spicy or the wife will not enjoy.

Really nice looking meal.

Thanks, I've been trying to find substitutes for red meat (cardiologists tells me to slow down) and I think I can spend many cooks trying different marinade flavors.

Manfred, next time I am going to leave out the andouille sausage (even lighter) and explore making the cook into shrimp tacos. :unsure:

How long do you grill the shrimp? My wife says that I sometimes over cook the shrimp when I grill them. I consider that a challenge!

Thanks,

I grilled them 3 to 4 minutes on one side and then flip (moving them to a cooler part of the grill) for 1 to 2 more minutes, until they are no longer translucent. The recipe I used suggested sprinling the first side with sugar. This will give them the lightly chared appearance.

Also, if bunch them together on the skewer this will help keep them from drying out.

I hope this helps.
