HAWAIIAN BEACH SHRIMP

Hawaiian Beach Shrimp image

This recipe is great for hibachi on the beach or in your backyard. You can also broil it in your oven if you're not in Hawaii or near a beach. It's a easy way to prepare a shrimp dish that's 'ono' (delicious) and moist! You can serve this either as an appetizer (pupu) or entree. I prepare it either with or without the shells on - depending on how fast I want people to eat 'um up! Aloha from Hawaii!!! Enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. If you can, buy shrimp that has been sustainably sourced.
Marinate the shrimp in a flavorful mixture before grilling. This will help to add flavor and keep the shrimp moist. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and lemon juice mixture, or a more complex marinade with herbs, spices, and citrus.
Grill the shrimp over high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and give it a nice charred flavor. Be sure to watch the shrimp carefully so that it doesn't overcook.
Serve the shrimp immediately. Grilled shrimp is best enjoyed fresh off the grill. You can serve it with a variety of dipping sauces, such as a creamy garlic sauce or a spicy chili sauce.
