topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 12 large raw shrimp (wild, size U-10 or 15-20 pcs.), peeled and deveined, fan-cut (almost like a butterfly)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about 1 small lime), plus lime wedges for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce (Sriracha is best) or more, to taste
  • 1 tbsp. l. brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. pickled crushed garlic or 6 minced fresh cloves
  • 2 tbsp. ketchup
  • 1 thinly sliced ​​Thai chili pepper, or habanero, or Scotch bonnet
  • 1/4 cup canola or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame seed oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4-5 grains of black pepper

Preparation:

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

    Place the shrimp in a large glass bowl. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and pour 1/2 to 2/3 of the marinade over the shrimp. (Reserve the remaining marinade for brushing the shrimp while frying.)

    Let the shrimp marinate for only 8-10 minutes, otherwise the lime juice will start the cooking process.
  2. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, brushing them with the remaining marinade. I use a silicone brush. Transfer the shrimp to a platter and serve, garnished with lime wedges.

    Submission optionWhen shrimp are fanned, their tails curl up as they cook, like a scorpion. A great way to present them beautifully!

    If desired, shrimp can be prepared with a side dish of Chinese leafy greens. grilled bok choyServe 3 shrimp per serving as an appetizer or 6 as a side to a salad (even numbers look best).
