Ingredients Needed:
- 2 large shallots, peeled and chopped
- 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 3/4 cup soy sauce (gluten-free, if desired)
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup peanut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 pounds large shrimp, shells and tails on
How To Make Ginger-Soy-Lime Marinated Shrimp Recipe?
- Prepare the Marinade: Place shallots, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the green onions and peanut oil to the blender. Blend until fully combined. Season with black pepper to taste.
- Marinate the Shrimp: Place the shrimp in a large bowl, pour the marinade over them, and let them marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill to high. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and grill for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, until they are cooked through.
- Serve: Optionally, serve the grilled shrimp on brown paper bags for an authentic presentation.
Recipe Tips:
- Marinate for Flavor: Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb all the flavors of the ginger, soy, and lime.
- Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Grill the shrimp for only 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side to keep them tender and juicy.
- Use Fresh Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice will give the marinade a much brighter, fresher flavor than bottled juice.
- Adjust the Sweetness: If you like your marinade a bit sweeter, you can add more sugar to taste.
- Keep the Shells On: Keeping the shells on adds extra flavor and moisture while grilling.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Allow the shrimp to cool to room temperature, then place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Reheat: Reheat the shrimp in a pan on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until warm.
