2. To serve
Step-by-Step Method
Prep the shrimp
Clean and pat the shrimp dry. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10 minutes.
Mix the quick marinade
In a bowl, combine garlic, grated ginger, chopped coriander/cilantro, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes; longer can make the ginger taste too strong.
Heat the grill
Preheat your barbecue/grill to high heat and lightly oil the grates. This helps the shrimp release cleanly.
Grill fast over high heat
Place shrimp in a single layer (on skewers or directly on the grates). Cook about 2–3 minutes per side. Pull them as soon as they turn pink and curl; overcooking will make them rubbery.
Serve right away
Transfer to a warm plate. Finish with a little extra coriander and serve with lemon slices if you like.
