GRILLED SHRIMP
Hello, Barbecue Enthusiasts!
Grilling foods outdoors is one of the greatest simple pleasures in food preparation.
It's a slow process that offers the cook an opportunity to chat with family and friends as the meal is prepared, rather than slaving away in a kitchen removed from all the festivities of good company.
Today's recipe is for grilled seafood with a Chinese flair. Try it at your next cookout, as National Barbecue Month continues at Recipe-a-Day! To prepare the peanut sauce, place ginger root, cilantro (or parsley), and jalapeno peppers in a food processor or blender, and process until smooth.
Add vinegar, soy sauce, and peanut butter, and puree until smooth and creamy. Add curry, honey, and sesame oil. Process until mixed well. Remove sauce from processor and refrigerate until time to serve.
To prepare the shrimp, soak wood skewers in water for one hour, then skewer shrimp -- three to each skewer. Marinate skewered shrimp in sweet chili sauce (and sherry if desired) for at least one hour.
Prepare your hot grill and grill each skewer of shrimp for about three minutes on each side.
Meanwhile, following the directions on the package of the Chinese Noodles you've selected, prepare and cook them while the shrimp are grilling.
Drain and the toss the cooked noodles with the peanut sauce in a large bowl, then place individual portions on six serving plates.
When shrimp are finished, place one skewer on top of each portion of noodles and serve.
