    These Grilled Miso Shrimp are a great summer grilling recipe using lemongrass sticks as skewers for extra tangy flavor! The shrimp cooks quickly and is so delish with a side of rice.

    Description

    These Grilled Miso Shrimp are a great summer grilling recipe using lemongrass sticks as skewers for extra tangy flavor!


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 4 lemongrass sticks
    • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    • 2 tablespoons miso paste
    • 1 tablespoon canola oil
    • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
    • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined, tail intact
    • ½ cup mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon sambal oelek
    • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
    • Lemon wedges for garnish
    • 2 cups cooked rice

    Instructions

    1. Peel several outer layers of the lemongrass sticks and cut off the tops in a sharp angle. Set aside.
    2. Heat a grill or preheat a stove-top grill pan. In a bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons of the lime juice with the miso paste, oil, ginger, garlic, honey, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 5 minutes. Thread the shrimp onto the lemongrass sticks and reserve leftover marinade.
    3. Grill the shrimp over moderately high heat until pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Heat leftover marinade in a small saucepan.
    4. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the sambal oelek and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice. When ready to serve, drizzle remaining marinade on top of shrimp and garnish with cilantro and lemon wedges. Serve with the sambal oelek mayonnaise and a side of cooked rice.

    Notes

    Adapted from Food & Wine. Sambal oelek can be found in specialty Asian markets and select grocery stores.
