Ingredients

  • 1 lbs . large shrimp , peeled and de-veined, tail on

Marinade

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp Lawry's seasoned salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp Key Lime zest

Key Lime Beurre Blanc

  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tbsp fresh Key Lime juice
  • 2 tbsp chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 12 tbsp cold butter
  • 1/2 tsp Key Lime zest
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp fresh chopped chives

Instructions

Marinade

  • Mix all ingredients in a medium sized bowl, add shrimp and toss to coat and refrigerate one hour (or put marinade in a gallon sized plastic bag with shrimp)

Grilling the shrimp

  • Remove the shrimp from the marinade and pat excess marinade off with paper toweling, discard marinade.
  • Cook shrimp on a hot grill approximately 2 minutes per side, remove and keep warm

Key Lime beurre blanc

  • In a small skillet or saucier on medium heat place first five ingredients and reduce liquid to about 3 tablespoons, 4 mins.
  • Add the cream and reduce to 3 tablespoons, 2 mins.
  • Take the skillet off the heat and add cold butter 1 tablespoon at a time stirring it in. Place back on the heat a few seconds if it gets too cold to melt the butter. This will help the sauce to not separate.
  • Remove from heat and strain in a wire sieve.
  • Put beurre blanc back into the skillet and stir in the key lime zest , salt and chives.
  • Place in a serving dish and serve right away, using it to top the shrimp.

Notes

Serve shrimp over rice. I cooked the rice in chicken bouillon to give it extra flavor.
