Grilled Shrimp / Tôm Nướng

I want to share with you all my favorite way of eating shrimp. In my opinion, this is the best marinade on the internet right now for grilled shrimp. If you only ever make one recipe of mine in your life, make it this one. It’s easy to put together and will impress anyone.

I grew up in Section 8 housing and learned never to waste anything, so we eat the whole shrimp, including the head, tail, and shells. The head has a lot of flavor, but make sure to remove the sharp bits on the head and tail before cooking.

Marinate the shrimp in the fridge for at least an hour, but longer is better. If you don’t like spicy food, you can omit the Thai chilies and remove the seeds from the jalapeno before blending.

Ensure your grill is super hot to get a nice char on the shrimp, and cook for a few minutes. Don’t overcook them, or they’ll be rubbery. You can also put them on skewers if you prefer.
