We are so lucky to be able to get fresh local shrimp every week (in season of course). We’ve been getting shrimp, scallops, trigger fish, and grouper from our local farmers market almost every week this summer. This recipe is by far my favorite way to fix the shrimp. It is adapted from Singapore Style Noodles with Shrimp.
1 pound shrimp (shelled and cleaned, tails on)
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp dry mustard
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tsp chili garlic sauce
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
Combine everything together in a big zip lock bag (so that you can flip it around a few times). Marinade for 30 minutes. In the meantime, soak about 4 or 5 wooden skewers in water (so they don’t catch fire when you grill them). Grill them over medium heat just a few minutes on each side, you don’t want to over cook shrimp.
That’s it. Pretty simple, and super yummy!
We typically have this with a big salad, some roasted potatoes, and some local fish (my favorite so far is trigger!).
