Sweet And Spicy Grilled Shrimp

 



This recipe for sweet and spicy grilled shrimp is one you should definitely try if you enjoy eating shrimp dishes. This dish, as its name implies, combines spicy and sweet flavors that complement each other quite well. This would be a fantastic summertime dinner to feed the family or to prepare in case you're hosting a social gathering.


Ingredients

⅓ cup chili garlic sauce

⅓ cup honey

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper


 

Guidelines

Set the grill's temperature to medium-high.

Mix the honey, salt, pepper, and chili garlic sauce in a big bowl. After the shrimp are cooked, set aside approximately ¼ of the sauce to brush them with. Toss the shrimp to ensure they are uniformly coated with the remaining marinade.

Line the heated grill with the shrimp. To make grilling easier, you may also use skewers or a grill basket.

The shrimp should be cooked through and opaque after two to three minutes on each side.

After taking the shrimp off the grill, coat them with the marinade you set out (not touching the raw shrimp). Add fresh cilantro as a garnish.

Serve right away, pressing lime wedges over the top.

Ingredients

1 yellow onion

1 large garlic clove

1 teaspoon grated ginger

Chop up the onion. Dice the garlic. Ginger should be peeled and minced (or grated). After rinsing, drain the chickpeas.

Heat the oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. After adding it, sauté the onion for five minutes. When the spinach is completely wilted, add the ginger, garlic, and spinach and sauté for another two minutes.

Sweetheart cookies

   



A miniature version of the traditional sugar cookie decorated with homemade buttercream icing is called Valentine's Frosted Sugar Cookies. Very tasty and simple to prepare!



INGREDIENTS

THE BEST SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH

1 cup butter-salted Salted Sweet Cream, softened to room temperature

1 cup Granulated Sugar

1 Large Egg

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

2 teaspoons of baking powder

3 cups All-Purpose Flour


Cream the sugar and softened butter until it becomes light and fluffy to form the sugar cookie batter. Beat in the vanilla and egg until well incorporated. Mix in the baking powder. Lastly, add the flour, one cup at a time, and stir only until lightly blended.

Spread out the cookie dough to approximately a 5/8-inch thickness, then cut out the sugar cookie bites in the shape of hearts using a little heart cookie cutter. Cook for five to six minutes in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees. You don't want to overbake the cookies, so check on them after four minutes have passed. When they are ready to be taken out of the oven, the edges will be just a bit brown.

Before frosting the cookies, let them cool fully.

Divide the quantity of our Best Buttercream Frosting Recipe into three equal halves. Color the other two halves pink and red, leaving one piece white.

Decorate the cookie bite hearts with frosting.

Add some Valentine's Day nonpareil sprinkles to the frosting's top.
