Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chilies
1 1/2 pounds uncooked jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons golden brown sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, cumin and oregano; stir 1 minute. Transfer mixture to blender. Add 1 cup water, vinegar and chipotles to blender; purée until smooth. Transfer half of puree to medium bowl; cool. Add shrimp to bowl; toss to coat. Cover; chill 2 hours.

    Pour remaining purée into heavy medium saucepan. Add orange juice and brown sugar. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until glaze is slightly thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool.

    Step 3

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove shrimp from marinade; pat dry with paper towels. Brush shrimp with some orange juice glaze. Grill shrimp until opaque in center, brushing occasionally with more glaze, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter.
