Grilled Jerk Shrimp Marinade - for Grill Basket

[mpayton]

Since I'm new to PC and have appreciated the tips that everyone has shared, I wanted to share a recipe that I made up this evening. I just received the new Grill Basket and wanted to try it out so we made Jerk Shrimp using the following Marinade.


Jerk Shrimp Marinade (for 1 lb shrimp)
1/4 c orange juice
1/3 c olive oil
Juice from one lemon
2 T Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
splash of habanero Tobasco

Whisk together marinade ingredients in Classic Batter Bowl. Add shrimp and let marinade about 30 to 45 minutes; mixing occasionally.

Remove shrimp from marinade and place in Grill Basket and cook on grill.

These were delicious and I received lots of compliments. I hope you enjoy it too.

Thanks Michelle! I have a Couples Grill Show coming up, and the host was wanting to do some kind of seafood in the grill basket - this sounds like a great option!

I cook shrimp often in just butter, pressed garlic and our dill seasoning.This jerk recipe sounds good! Can't wait 'til the snow melts and I can get to my grill again!!!!We got 3-4" again last night!!!!

That sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing. I love shrimp and can't wait to use the grill basket. It's finally getting warmer out here. Maybe that's not too far off!!

Sounds great, my sister has been wanting my DH to come up and show her how to cook shrimp. I think I'll recommend this recipe.

Michelle, what type/size of shrimp did you use? I often just cook shrimp from a shrimp ring b/c they are cheap but I recently tried jumbo shrimp (cooked with shells on) and I loved them.

Yummy!!!

I love the Jamaican rub with the garlic infused oil whisked together and then coated on the shrimp - I usually use the grill pan but am going to try it on the grill basket!! Served over a salad in the summer is great or over a nice steak!

Ok - lunchtime!!!

I used the large white shrimp (21-25/pound). They happened to be on sale for $6.99/lb. (Yippee!). We live in FL so we often have access to good Gulf shrimp. I removed the shells because that is my preference but you could marinade & cook them with the shells on. I love jumbo shrimp too and I am sure you could use them also. Usually, the shrimp on the shrimp ring are precooked and if you cooked them again, they might get tough. Hope that helps!Michelle

By the way, my husband saw me putting the grill basket away and said that "The basket is great. It was so easy to make those shrimp. I just tossed them around a few times in the basket and it was done." (as opposed to turning skewers) I asked how long they cooked and he said about 6 minutes. He also told me that our friend that was "helping" him grill thought the basket was fabulous. (I just happen to be doing a show for our friend's wife next month!) The men seem to love the basket. Hmmmm.....Father's Day is coming and so is summer for those of you in the cold North.Michelle
