Asian Grilled Shrimp / Prawns
Perfectly cooked prawns coated with lime browned butter with a drizzle of sweet soy sauce. The flavour combination of this Asian Grilled Shrimp is magical. Whether you make this on your BBQ or on the stove, this tastes so good, it’s like something you’d get at a fancy restaurant – and in fact, is a copycat of a dish from a great Sydney restaurant called Esther. This is easy gourmet cooking at its best!
Direction:
1. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This will be our seasoning for the shrimp.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This will be our marinade for the shrimp.
3. Place the shrimp in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the shrimp. Make sure the shrimp is evenly coated with the marinade. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, you can also use a grill pan on the stovetop.
5. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
6. Skewer the shrimp onto metal or wooden skewers, making sure to leave a little space in between each shrimp.
7. Brush both sides of the shrimp with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning mix over the shrimp.
8. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through.
9. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and place them on a plate. Garnish with chopped green onions.
10. Serve the grilled shrimp hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, vegetables, or salad. Enjoy!
