Sweet & Spicy Jumbo Shrimp New Year's Bonanza

Made a seven seafood Italian New Years feast, but it was scaled down for human consumption. I've gotten pretty good at portioning so that two people can eat most everything instead of having nine weeks of leftovers. So, a quick overview, highlighting the shrimp glaze.

Ceviche with habanero
Lobster bisque
Kumamoto oysters with julienned cilantro, horseradish and pico de gallo
Pan seared mahi-mahi
Bacon wrapped scallops
Hot 'n' sweet shrimp
Mussels in cream sauce

The best tasting thing by far was the glazed shrimp:

3 tablespoons Maple syrup
pinch of chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 or two dashes of red pepper flakes
dash of finely diced or powdered ginger
1 tablespoon apricot jam

Mix it all and heat for 30 seconds in the nuker to marry the flavors. Char the shrimp and plate up with the glaze.
