Provided by Grace Parisi

Categories     Garlic     Ginger     Shellfish     Shrimp     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Lemongrass

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 prawns or jumbo shrimp (size U-15) in the shells, preferably with heads on
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
1 tablespoon sriracha
2 tablespoons minced lemongrass (inner bulb only, from 2 stalks)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon minced Serrano chile
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice, plus wedges for garnish
Pinch of salt
Canola oil for brushing
Grilled naan, lime wedges and cilantro for serving

Steps:

  • On a cutting board, using a pair of kitchen scissors, or sharp paring knife, cut the shrimp lengthwise through the shell, along the top side about 1 inch below the head and press to flatten. Pull out and discard the intestinal vein that runs lengthwise.
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, combine the softened butter with the sriracha, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, turmeric, fish sauce and lime juice and season with the salt. Microwave on high power just until soft enough to brush but not melted, about 5 seconds.
  • Light a grill and oil the grates. Arrange the butterflied shrimp in a hinged grill basket, shell-side down, brush with oil and season with salt. Brush very lightly with some of the butter. Grill the shrimp, shell side down until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Brush the shrimp with more of the butter, turn and grill until lightly charred and cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the shrimp to plates and serve with the remaining butter, naan, lime wedges and cilantro. Serve right away.

Tips:

  • Butterfly the shrimp properly: Make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will allow the shrimp to lay flat on the grill and cook evenly.
  • Use large shrimp: Jumbo shrimp are ideal for this recipe, as they are large enough to be butterflied and grilled without falling apart.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will add flavor and help to keep the shrimp moist during grilling.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium heat: This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and slightly charred: This will ensure that the shrimp are cooked through but still juicy.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp are best served hot off the grill, with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkling of fresh herbs.
