Ingredients

2 large shallots, peeled and chopped
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, smashed
3/4 cup soy sauce
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

Directions

Place shallots, ginger, garlic, soy, lime juice, and sugar in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the green onion and oil and blend until combined. Season with black pepper, to taste. Place shrimp in a large bowl, pour the marinade over, and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Preheat a grill to high. Remove shrimp from the marinade and grill for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Serve on brown paper bags, if desired.

just plain great
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Peeled 'em first, but followed the rest as is (which is not my norm). Fabulous on my grill pan - take them off the grill just... before they are done if you don't want them chewy (like a good roast they will continue to cook for a bit). 'Chewiness' a technique issue not a recipe issue. Read more

Just OK
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I prepared this with the shell off and on skewers. The marinade smelled and tasted great. But I thought the shrimp were... just OK. I liked them, but nothing special. I don't think I would make this again. I followed the recipe as directed except for the shells and used evoo instead of peanut oil.Read more

Gone in 5 MINUTES!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I went to a cookout and took this shrimp and I turned my back and there were a plate full shrimp tails. I peeled the... shrimp, it would be a pain to peel these after cooked. Left tails on. I added some honey instead of sugar to cut down on soy saltiness. I also used lime zest in addition to fresh lime juice. It was amazing and I cooked for about 8 to 10 min on a low grill. Was NOT gummy or chewy. I did marinate for approx. 2 hours. You will not be dissaponted. Willl use this as my go to for any occassion!!!Read more

Amazing recipe! Got all compliment even who don't like shrimp
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Most of my guests are not the shrimp lover. I had a pressure to cook this meal. The preparation is straight forward but the... taste came out so delicious. I don't have peanut oil so I put 1 teaspoon of peanut butter and make the sauce smell so good, especially, when you dip the shrimp with the sauce. Wow, the sauce is the kick flavor. Everyone like it and want me to make for the next party. Thanks Bobby Flay! Read more

Quick with great flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used peeled shrimp. I think the shrimp absorbed more of the flavors. I marinated the shrimp for 15 minutes, didn't want... it to "cook" in the lime juice. Really great flavor and a quick easy recipe. Makes my list!Read more
