Slightly acidic, slightly sweet, with minced garlic and a little bit of heat, this marinade will bring out the flavors of the shrimp and artichokes. Save a third of it for a dipping sauce when serving. Skewer the marinated shrimp and artichokes, and broil them to perfection in the Calphalon XL Convection Oven. Couldn't be easier.

Ingredients

Marinade
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup orange marmalade
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. fresh orange zest
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup garlic infused olive oil
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
Zest of 1 lime

Shrimp
1-1/2 lbs. large (10-12 ct.) shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails left intact
1 can (15-oz.) artichoke hearts, well drained and cut in half
2 tsp. olive oil
Sprigs of cilantro for garnish
6 small bamboo skewers soaked in lemon water

Directions

Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl.

Place the shrimp and artichokes into a half-gallon storage bag. Add all but 1/3 cup of marinade to the shrimp. The reserved marinade can be used as a dipping sauce when serving. The shrimp should marinate for at least 1 hour, and no more than 2 hours.

After marinating, thread the shrimp and artichokes onto the skewers, 3 shrimp and 3 artichoke halves per skewer.

Position the oven rack in the middle slot with the rack oriented upwards. Preheat your Calphalon XL Convection Oven for 5 minutes on Broil. Place the skewered shrimp into the convection oven and broil the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve with dipping sauce. Serves 3 to 4 as an appetizer.
