Yummo, beautiful blend of flavors! I intended to halve the shrimp while still partially frozen but let them defrost entirely so took the very lazy step of using them whole, it didn't affect the taste but as you can see in my photo did affect the presentation, they would have browned much more evenly if I'd followed that step properly. I served along with a quick dipping sauce of soy / sesame seeds / sesame oil and garllic.
