These grilled shrimp skewers are honestly one of my favorite shrimp recipes, and they’re among the very first recipes I ever put on Le Coup de Gr\u00e2ce. They’ve never left my summer rotation. They’re delicious and they burst in your mouth: the sweetness of the maple syrup, the bright acidity of the lime and the Asian accents all come together perfectly. Once you taste them, you understand why I pull them out every single time the BBQ is fired up.<\/p>\n
Maple syrup in a shrimp marinade is my own idea, my Quebec reflex. I love putting maple syrup in my recipes, and here it works wonders: it caramelizes lightly on the grill, balances the saltiness of the soy sauce and rounds out the kick of the ginger. With toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds, you get a genuinely Asian, sweet-and-salty profile that’s a world away from the classic lemon-garlic shrimp skewer.<\/p>\n
The trick I’ve fine-tuned over the years: marinate for only 30 minutes, never more. The lime would eventually cook the shrimp flesh and turn it mushy. And most importantly, I split the marinade: I set aside a third of it, separately, to drizzle over the skewers right when serving. It gives one last hit of freshness and flavor just before everyone digs in. Simple, fast, perfect for summer entertaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
