A delightful shrimp recipe with a zesty ginger lime marinade, perfect for grilling or stir-frying.
Combine all the marinade ingredients in a glass bowl with a lid.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Marinating for longer can enhance the flavors, but avoid exceeding 30 minutes to prevent the shrimp from becoming mushy.
Preheat the grill to high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and slightly charred.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
Alternatively, heat a wok with oil and stir-fry the shrimp for 3-4 minutes until pink.
Ensure the wok is hot before adding the shrimp for a quick and even cook.
Garnish the cooked shrimp with fresh herbs and scallions before serving.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
