So, we’re going to do sort of like a soy, ginger, garlic marinade, basically like a Chinese marinade for our next shrimp. And we’re going to start up with some fresh ginger. The great thing about ginger is it’s sweet, it’s spicy and it’s really no substitute for the flavor. So, everything in the blender, some ginger, some lime juice, some scallions, you can use onions or I’m going to use shallots, and then some garlic, and then some soy sauce. This is usually going to be the foundation of your marinade. You can have the potency of the garlic and the shallots and the green onions and then you could have the sweet and spiciness of the ginger. We also need a little sugar, not to much and actually the sugar will actually help to create sort of a nice little caramelization on the outside of the shrimp together with the saltiness of the soy sauce. Lots of flavor is going on here. So, this is what I called the shrimp right here.
Again, we’re going to leave the shell on here okay and we’re going to put a little peanut oil into the marinade. You just pour it over. It smells great. I love that ginger. Okay, ready to go to the grill. Alright, let’s spread these out, really want all these flavors to kind of cook in there, the sugar, the soy sauce, the ginger, the scallion, the garlic, all these flavors come together, we blend them all together and we want to make them part of the shrimp so when you buy this shrimp, you’ll pick up at least two or three of those flavors right away and you’ll know that. We just sort of slice up a little green scallion garnish which I got a shrimp. Now, you have to be careful with these because remember we do have some sugar in there. They’re going to really caramelize pretty quickly. Let me show you what I’m talking about. Oh yeah, that’s actually exactly what we’re looking for, get a lime, some scallions.
