Best 6 Oaxacan Grilled Shrimp Recipes
Sure, here's the introduction:
Oaxacan grilled shrimp, a specialty from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, captures the essence of Oaxacan cuisine with its harmonious blend of flavors, vibrant colors, and unique cooking techniques. Marinated in a tantalizing mixture of spices, citrus, and herbs, these succulent shrimp are grilled to perfection, achieving a smoky, slightly charred exterior and a tender, juicy interior. Accompanied by a refreshing salsa made from roasted tomatoes, onions, and peppers, and served with a side of traditional Oaxacan black beans and fluffy Mexican rice, this dish embodies the culinary heritage of Oaxaca.
The article also features two additional recipes that complement the main dish: a zesty guacamole and a creamy chipotle sauce. The guacamole, made with ripe avocados, fresh cilantro, onions, and lime juice, adds a cool and creamy element to the grilled shrimp. The chipotle sauce, crafted from smoked jalapeños, adobo sauce, and a touch of honey, provides a smoky, slightly spicy kick that enhances the flavors of the shrimp.
Together, these recipes offer a complete and authentic Oaxacan dining experience, allowing you to savor the distinct culinary traditions of this vibrant Mexican state in your own home. So, gather your ingredients, fire up your grill, and embark on a culinary journey to Oaxaca with these delightful recipes.
OLD BAY MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP
These shrimp marinate for only 30 minutes in a flavorful mix of lemon juice, garlic and the powerhouse spice blend, Old Bay seafood seasoning. Don't be tempted to let them sit in the sauce any longer than that because the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp and make them tough. Serve with some boiled or roasted potatoes for a grill-lover's version of a shrimp boil.

Steps:
- Juice half of the lemon and add the juice to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the Old Bay seasoning, olive oil and shrimp. Toss to combine.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and reserve for serving.
- Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
- Serve the shrimp with the reserved lemon wedges and hot sauce.
OAXACAN GRILLED SHRIMP
We watched these being cooked right by our table while in Huatulco. The smell when the marinade was brushed on the jumbo shrimp while on the grill filled the air - so good! This is our version. Enjoy! **Preparation time includes 30 minute marinading time (****edit June 25/07 - it was suggested that lime juice would be good instead of lemon juice so I tried it out and I prefer it that way. Thank you for that!) ***NOTE : ) Aug. 7/10 - discovered an even better way to enjoy this recipe! Ran out of skewers so just threw the prawns with all the marinade into a foil pan and threw that on the bbq stirring and turning for about 5 to 7 minutes (depending on size of your prawns). They turned out wonderfully moist and tasty and the resulting sauce was fabulous to dip a crusty bread onto. The sauce is also very tasty ladled on top of linguine. So fast and easy. Cuts the prep time down to basically nothing.
