Grilled Caribbean Jerk Shrimp Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. raw jumbo shrimp (16 to 20 per pound), peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 c. vegetable oil
  • 1/2 of a large habanero pepper, seeded and minced
  • 3 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 T. minced fresh ginger
  • 1 T. brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. Mexican oregano
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. allspice
  • chopped cilantro, flaky sea salt, and fresh lime wedges for garnish
  • Beer (buy local) for soaking plank, if grilling shrimp on a plank

Directions

  1. Place shrimp in a wide shallow bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl with high sides, combine all ingredients from the vegetable oil through the allspice. Use an immersion blender to completely process until there are no sizeable pieces. Or use a food processor or blender. Pour marinade over shrimp and gently stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
If using a wood grill plank.
  1. Set a large grill plank in a pan with sides and completely cover plank with beer. If the plank wants to float, simply set a bowl or something similar on it to weigh it down. Let soak for 2 hours. Heat a charcoal (using hard wood lump or regular charcoal) or gas grill to medium-high heat (about 475°). If using a charcoal grill, let charcoal get completely hot and white, and then level it out into an even layer. Set soaked plank on grate to get plank hot. When plank starts to crackle, which should take about 3 minutes, set shrimp on plank. 
  2. Grill 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until shrimp are no longer opaque. Set plank on a pan and serve shrimp straight from the plank. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a bit of flaky sea salt. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.

If grill shrimp on the grill grates

  1. Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat (about 475°). If using a charcoal grill, let charcoal get completely hot and white, and then level it out into an even layer. Oil grill grates well. 
  2. Set shrimp on grates. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until shrimp are no longer opaque and have a bit of char. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a bit of flaky sea salt. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.

Restaurant Steak Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 (8) ounce filet mignon
  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) - ½ stick softened
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon parsley chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon rosemary chopped

Directions

  1. To make the compound butter: Take ½ stick softened butter and combine with garlic, parsley, rosemary and lemon zest. Place in plastic wrap, roll into a log and refrigerate.
  2. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400*.
  4. Get your pan really hot. Add remaining butter and oil. Sear steaks 2-3 minutes each side until a nice crust forms, while spooning melted butter in the pan over steaks. Once both sides have a nice crust, take the whole oven proof skillet and put it in the 400* oven for 6-8 minutes depending on the thickness of your steak.
  5. Cook to 135* internal temperature for medium rare. If you like a little less pink you may cook a few minutes longer or 140*.
  6. Add a pat of the compound butter during the last few minutes of the steak being in the oven. It will melt over your steak and adds another layer of flavouring.

What makes it restaurant style?  it’s cooked in an oven and not on a grill, no matter what they tell you.  It gives them better control over quality and more consistently perfect steaks.

  • Hashbrowns – diced or shredded – one 26oz. package frozen hashbrowns, or two 16oz. dairy-case hashbrowns (like Betty Crocker “Simply Hashbrowns”)
  • Eggs – one dozen
  • Cheddar cheese, shredded – two cups
  • Bacon* – one 12oz or 16oz package (*optional but recommended)
  • Salt & Pepper – season to taste – approx. 1.5 tspn. salt and 1 tspn. pepper
  • *Two tbspn. cooking oil if bacon is not used
Directions
  1. Cook bacon strips until well browned and crispy. Remove bacon, but do not drain skillet.
  2. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook, (over high heat), until browned.
  3. Use the spatula to chop the sausage while it cooks to avoid ending up with large chunks or semi-patties. You want to end up with the texture of cooked hamburger 
  4. Remove the cooked sausage, (do not drain skillet), and set aside. Then add hash browns and cook, (over high heat), until browned.  The bottom of the skillet should be covered with the bacon and sausage grease – if not add a little cooking oil until it is.
  5. Don’t over-stir these. Use the spatula to turn them a couple times at approx. 5-minute intervals
  6. Scramble the eggs in a bowl while the hashbrowns are cooking
  7. When hashbrowns are done, add back the cooked sausage, then pour in the scrambled eggs. Stir once to mix things up, then cover the skillet and cook over medium heat until eggs begin to set. Stir as needed to keep the eggs from sticking and burning.
  8. When eggs are set, and almost done, crumble the bacon strips and sprinkle over top, followed by two cups of shredded cheese – sprinkled to cover top. Cover the skillet and wait approx. five minutes for the topping to melt.
  9. Remove from heat, sprinkle on Parsley or Fennel – and serve.
