Glazed Skillet Shrimp

The recipe I used called this dish BBQ Shrimp. This is not what I thought of when I ate it. Actually when I made it I knew it wasn't even close to BBQ. I make my own bbq sauce so I know what goes into bbq sauces. This I will just call a glaze.

Glazed Skillet Shrimp*1 tablespoon of butter
*1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
*    cup of fat free Italian dressing
*1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
*14 peeled tail-on thawed shrimp
*1 lemon wedge

Mix the first four ingredients in a bowl. Pour into a skillet and bring to a boil on medium heat.
Add shrimp to skillet and cook shrimp to preferred "doneness"
I flipped the shrimp once in the skillet
Cut lemon into wedges and serve

Great dish for an appetizer, part of a seafood or steak meal, or just as a small light lunch.

Rum Glazed Grilled Shrimp

Looking for a sweet shrimp dish? This is it! The flavor I did not expect but I ate it all. So did the husband and my little chica. Again, I forgot to take pictures because the husband got home late. This time, the shrimp was not overdone!

Indredients:

• 1/4 cup of honey
• 1/2 tsp lime juice fresh
• 3 tbsp spiced rum (captain!)
• 1/2 tsp grated orange zest
• 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
• 1 tsp fresh ginger
• 1 tbsp shopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
• 20 jumbo peeled deveined shrimp
• 4 skewers

Directions:

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat
2. Mix together all ingredients. Mix until cornstarch is blended with the rest
3. Pour half the mixture on the shrimp making sure they are fully covered
4. Place shrimps on skewers
5. Grill shrimp until bright pink and opague and the glaze has cooked into the shrimp about 4 mins per side.
6. Baste with additional unused glaze before turning the shrimp over

Other cooking option

• put stove on medium heat
• place the shrimp in the pan after it is hot instead of putting on skewers. Cook 3 mins, flip, add more glaze, cooking 3 more mins and flip. cook until done

Note:

• The orange zest is strong so don't overdue it. In fact, under do it. I would ad extra rum and extra lime juice. It was a bit honey zested for me.
