Dinner Speed Record

Tonight, my son had Tae Kwon Do from 4:30 to 5:15 and then his graduation ceremony for his next belt at 6:45, so I needed a quick dinner. Shrimp cooks quickly so I knew this would be a winner. There were three glaze recipes, I tried two.

Soy-Ginger Glaze (all from EveryDay Food magazine)

In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 C orange marmalade, 1 1/2 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp grated, peeled ginger.

Chipotle-Lime Glaze

Ina small bowl, stir together 1/4 C orange marmalade, 1 1/2 tsp liquid from chipotle chiles in adobo and 1 tsp fresh lime juice.

I used these on shrimp. They can be used on any kind of meat or salmon. Brush the sauce on two minutes before the meat is finished cooking and then brush it again just after removing it from the grill. You'll get the most bang for your buck if you do whole shrimp or cubes of steak/chicken/pork on skewers. They added a nice flavor to the shrimp. I thought the soy-ginger was actually more flavorful. I served this with rice and salad. I managed to prepare, serve and eat this meal in 1 hour. It's fast.

Here's the third glaze:
Orange-Mustard Glaze

In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 C orange marmalade and 1 1/2 tsp grainy mustard.
