How to Make

  • Step 1: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ginger and garlic and stir until fragrant and soft. Add vinegar, sherry, and cinnamon and stir until it resembles a glaze (4 to 5 minutes). Stir in tomatoes, sugar, cumin, cayenne, and cloves. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 1 hour, until liquid has evaporated.

  • Step 2: Stir in honey, black pepper and salt. Use a blender or a potato masher to puree to your desired consistency. Allow to cool completely.

  • Step 3: Once cooled, stir together half of the jam mixture with the siracha (optional: the jam is nicely spicy as is, but if you like spicier food, add the siracha). Add to shrimp and marinate for 30 - 1 hour.

  • Step 4: Skewer the shrimp and grill for about 2 minutes per side. Serve grilled shrimp with remaining jam and a wedge of lemon or lime.
