Ingredients
3 large limes (about 10 ounces)
2 large cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined
1 small scallion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves
Directions
- Zest and juice 2 of the limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon zest and about 1/4 cup juice) and add to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the fish sauce, canola oil, sugar, red pepper flakes and shrimp. Toss to combine.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime 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, grill the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a large plate.
- Top with the sliced scallions and cilantro and serve with the lime wedges.
