Ingredients

Shrimp:

  • 1.5 lbs of Shrimp shell on
  • Sliced Red Chili Peppers for garnish
  • Limes for garnish

Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup of Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp of Garlic Paste
  • 1 tbsp of Fish Sauce
  • 2 tsp of Sea Salt
  • 1.5 tsp of Black Pepper
  • 1-2 Limes juiced

Garlic Chile Vinaigrette:

  • 4-5 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Red Chili Pepper finely sliced
  • 1.5 tbsp of Olive Oil
  • 1.5 tbsp of Cilantro
  • 1 tbsp of Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 2 tsp of Honey
  • 1.5 tsp of Fish Sauce
  • 1 tsp of Sea Salt
  • 1-2 Limes juiced

Instructions

  • In a blender, add the ingredients for the Garlic Chile Vinaigrette, EXCEPT for the chili peppers. Blend until smooth, then add to a bowl or mason jar.
  • Add the finely sliced chili peppers into the vinaigrette and mix. Let sit in the fridge for 15 minutes but ideally 1 hour.
  • Add your shrimp to a food safe bowl or bag along with all the ingredients for the marinade. Mix together thoroughly, then place in the fridge for only 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill for direct cooking at high temperature (around 400F). Add your grill grate or grill basket over the coals 2-3 minutes before cooking to preheat.
  • Pull out the shrimp from the fridge and discard any excess marinade.
  • Add the shrimp over the fire to cook for 1.5 minutes per side or until they are no longer translucent.
  • Once the shrimp are done, pull them off and place them into a bowl.
  • Drizzle about 2 tbsp of the Garlic Chile Vinaigrette into the bowl and toss the shrimp until they are evenly coated.
  • Serve them up with some sliced chili peppers and limes for garnish. Enjoy!
