Cayenne-Spiced Shrimp

By The Culinary Institute of America

These peppery shrimp make a dramatic-and popular-item on a buffet table. If desired, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes, then thread shrimp onto skewers before cooking.

Ingredients

Qty. Measurement Description
1 1/4 pound shrimp, jumbo, peeled
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

Preparation Cook: 25 Min

  1. If desired, insert a wooden skewer through each shrimp.
  2. Combine cinnamon, black pepper, salt, cayenne, brown sugar and mustard; mix well. Coat the shrimp with the spice mixture.
  3. Place the shrimp and any remaining spice mixture in a zip-top bag. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes and up to 24 hours.
  4. Preheat broiler or grill. If broiling, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the shrimp on the baking sheet.
  5. Broil shrimp in the middle of the oven until cooked, about 10 minutes. If grilling, cook shrimp over hot coals until opaque, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Keep skewers out and away from coals to prevent them from burning.
