Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro, Lime and Peanuts

By ctaubenheim

I served the shrimp with Pecan Pilaf Rice

Ingredients

• 2 limes
• 2 tsp fish sauce
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1 lb (about 15) jumbo shrimp, shells on
• 2 tsp safflower oil
• coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
• 2 scallions, finely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Zest limes into a bowl. Squeeze in juice from 1 lime, and whisk in fish sauce and sugar. Preheat grill to high. Brush shrimp with oil on both sides, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Grill until pink and firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Toss shrimp with fish sauce mixture, cilantro, peanuts and scallions. Juice remaining lime over shrimp.
