How To Make tennessee sweet tea & honey spiced shrimp with grilled peach and mango salad
-
1Place the water into a large pot and bring to a boil, add the honey, brown sugar, salt, tea, spices and seasonings; stirring with a whisk to dissolve the sugar. Let the brine cool to room temperature and then refrigerate overnight.
-
2Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in a shallow pan and pour the Sweet Tea Brine over the shrimp; cover the pan with saran. Place the shrimp in the refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours turning frequently in the brine.
-
3Remove the shrimp from the brine and blot dry with absorbent paper towels. Pour the olive oil over the shrimp and evenly coat with the oil; generously season the shrimp on all sides with the lemon pepper seasonings.
-
4Over medium heat lightly spray the grates of a gas grill with non stick vegetable cooking oil. In batches evenly arrange the shrimp on to the grates and grill over a medium hot fire. Cook the shrimp for approximately 3 minutes turning using BBQ tongs. Grill the second side of the shrimp for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are fully cooked.
