I always love how they ask "how long to make"...well, if you don't count the 30 minutes of marinating time, 10 would be the answer. This dish is really flavorful, and best using large (Colossal) shrimp, shrimp that come to 12 or less per pound, these are almost like mini lobster tails in taste and texture.
Ingredients
- 12 Colossal shrimp (or a pound of jumbo shrimp - isn't that an oxymoron?) shopping list
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint shopping list
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger shopping list
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic shopping list
- The zest from 1 lime shopping list
- The juice from 1 lime (zest first, juice second) shopping list
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce shopping list
- 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce shopping list
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, as needed shopping list
How to make it
- Remove the shell (except for the tail) and devein the shrimp.
- In a bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients, mix well.
- Add the shrimp to the marinade and marinate for 30 minutes up to 1 hour.
- Heat the BBQ, grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and grill, turning and basting with the marinade until just opaque.
