ingredients
-
Glaze
- 1⁄3 cup plus 1 tbs water
- 1⁄4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped lemongrass, inner white bulb only
- 2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cornstarch
-
Shrimp
- 12 cups water
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 24 shrimp (medium to large)
- 24 fresh cilantro leaves, for garnishing
directions
- Combine 1/3 cup of water, vinegar, lemongrass, ginger, lime zest and crushed red pepper in a small nonreactive saucepan. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 Tbs water in a small bowl and add to the vinegar mixture using whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking at least twice. Boil for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
- Bring the remaining 12 cups of water and kosher salt to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until opaque in the center, about 3 minutes. Strain. Arrange on baking sheet with a lip. Refrigerate until partially chilled.
- To assemble: Peel the shrimp, leaving the tail attached. Cut a slit (1/2 to 1/4 inch deep) down the back of each shrimp from the top to the tail. Be careful not to cut completely through the shrimp. Rinse the shrimp in a bowl of cold water to remove the vein. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess water. Place a cilantro sprig in the cut of each shrimp. Brush with glaze before serving- I put remaining sauce in bowl on plate with shrimp :).

I spent my summers at my Grandparents Cafe (just outside of Noxon Montana) and just love the taste and smell of home cookin'!! My grandma was an amazing person (my rock!) and she made wonderful meals. Her pies (Huckleberry cream was my favorite-yum!) were out of this world. I love to try new recipes and have a goal of making a great "keepers" cookbook to pass on to my kids. Granted they are 12,10 and 6 - so I have plenty of time to create a masterpiece :) I stumbled on to this site~ wow! I love it!
