Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 limes
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoons safflower oil

  • Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavor and prevent it from drying out during grilling.
  • Use a basting brush to apply a thin layer of oil or melted butter to the shrimp before grilling to prevent sticking.
  • To achieve a smoky flavor, add a few wood chips or a smoker box to the grill.
  • Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn opaque and slightly charred.
  • To make the cilantro dipping sauce, use fresh cilantro for a vibrant flavor.
