How to Make Aussie Shrimp On The Barbie With Orange Ginger Sauce
- Soak 12 long wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Gently thread 1 large shrimp onto each skewer, lengthwise from tail to head.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 4 tablespoons butter. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and sauce is smooth and slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill rack.
- Dip the shrimp skewers in the orange-ginger glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill rack, about 4 inches above the coals.
- Grill for 2 minutes per side, basting frequently with the remaining glaze.
- For smaller shrimp, they may be done after 4 minutes. Continue grilling larger shrimp until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes more. Shrimp will become tough if overcooked, so remove immediately when done.
- Serve immediately with any extra glaze for dipping. Enjoy your Aussie BBQ feast!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
