Cuisine: Fusion
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 4 flatbreads
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine grated ginger, soy sauce, and honey. Whisk together to create a marinade.
- Add peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (approximately 400-450°F).
- Thread marinated shrimp onto skewers, if using, to prevent them from falling through grill grates. Alternatively, use a grill basket.
- Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and develop light char marks. Shrimp are done when they're opaque and slightly curled.
- While shrimp are grilling, lightly brush flatbreads with olive oil and warm them on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Remove shrimp from grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Slice grilled shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble flatbreads by layering shredded lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and grilled shrimp.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and drizzle with any remaining marinade if desired.
- Serve immediately while flatbreads are warm and shrimp are freshly grilled.
Tips
- Always pat shrimp dry before marinating to help the marinade adhere better and achieve a perfect char.
- Don't over-marinate shrimp - 10-15 minutes is ideal to prevent the acid from breaking down the delicate protein.
- Use metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers to prevent shrimp from falling through grill grates.
- Watch shrimp closely while grilling - they cook quickly and can become rubbery if overcooked.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a subtle kick.
- If using a grill basket, ensure it's well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Let shrimp rest for a couple of minutes after grilling to retain their juicy texture.
