Recipe Story

While experimenting with different ingredients from GourmetGarden.com I thought of this combination of flavors would be quite elegant. I served the dish at a Filipino party.... the grilled shrimp with thier exotic taste disappeared instantly..... what a hit !

Ingredients

 
1 tube Gourmet Garden Cilantro
 
1 tube Gourmet Garden Ginger
 
1 tube Gourmet Garden Lemon Grass
 
1 1/2 tablespoons of butter
 
1/2 lb (230g) of \'Shell On\' Large Prawns/Shrimp (thawed or fresh)

Directions

GETTING READY
1 Butterfly cut prawns/shrimp, keeping the shell intact. Make sure the shrimp can lay flat and open in a grilling/broiling pan.

MAKING
2 In a grilling/broiling pan, lay the shrimp flat.
3 Pat the shrimp with a paper towel (This takes up any excess moisture that would cause the topping not to stick to the prawns/shrimp).
4 In a small bowl soften the butter on a low heat in microwave until it just begins to melt.
5 Stir equal amounts (about 1/4 tube to a 1/2) of Gourmet Garden Cilantro, Gourmet Garden Ginger, and Gourmet Garden Lemon Grass in the warm butter until combined.
6 Spread the mixture with a spoon on the meat of the prawns/shrimp until it is fully covered. The amount you put on depends on how much flavor you like.
7 Place in the broiler/grilling pan or toaster oven with the setting on high.
8 Cook till the topping turns golden brown. The prawn/shrimp shell may turn much darker or black on the edges (this is fine).

SERVING
9 Serve on bed of lettuce in the shell and pick out with a small fork.

Editors Review

Asian food does really well when served to a bigger group, as most of the people adore Asian flavors. To add on to your Asian repertoire, here is a hundred island grilled shrimp recipe. The chef has made it in a very easy manner, saving all the time of preparing a marinade. He is doing it outdoors, so that also gives you an idea

The Gourmet Garden product is exceptional I thought. It's not pasteurized so the spices keep their fresh color, flavor and aroma. They also last for a long time, so on an ounce for ounce basis are well worth having on hand. I looked up where I could find them from their website www.gourmetgarden.com.

I try to keep some of them in the frig for instant need, especially in the Winter. They are a bit pricey, but I try to catch them on sale at Safeway. I love that they are a smooth consistency which is great for sauces. The quality and flavours are great-very fresh tasting. I have been using them ever since they started carrying them at Safeway in Alamo. Hey-he is also using my favourite Kyocera knives! I use my Joyce Chen kitchen sissors for splitting shrimp this way.
