Grilled Garlic Shrimp with Yuzu Kosho

This grilled garlic shrimp with Yuzu Kosho is a quick and delicious way to grill shrimp in an amazing marinade of red yuzu kosho, garlic, and soy sauce.

I first tried yuzu kosho when I made these delicious grilled scallops. Yuzu kosho is a Japanese condiment that is a mixture of chillies, salt and the zest and juice from Japanese yuzu. It's citrus-y and spicy at the same time.

There is red yuzu kosho and green yuzu kosho. This recipe calls for red.

To make the marinade, you combine some of the yuzu kosho with soy sauce and olive oil. In the case of this shrimp, the marinade also includes lots of grated garlic, making this shrimp even more flavorful.

Grilling is so perfect when married with Japanese flavors. Japanese ingredients like soy sauce, miso, and sesame oil are wonderful for marinades.

Throw in yuzu kosho for some heat, citrus, and spice to make any recipe extra special. You can find this ingredient at Japanese markets or on mail order sites such as Amazon.

Ingredients you will need: 

• Yuzu Kosho -  a spicy Japanese condiment that is a mixture of chillies, yuzu zest and juice, and salt. 
• Japanese soy sauce
• Garlic
• A pound of large shrimp

That's it! 

This recipe takes about 30 minutes to make, from start to finish. Serve it with steamed rice and a cucumber salad for a light dinner for four. 

How to make this grilled Japanese garlic shrimp: 

1. First, mix some yuzu kosho, soy sauce, olive oil, and grated garlic. Set aside some of this mixture for later to brush the fully cooked shrimp. 
2. Next, Skewer the shrimp and place them in the marinade for about 15 minutes. 
3. After that, grill the shrimp on the skewers about 2 minutes per side. 
4. Finally, brush the grilled shrimp with the reserved marinade and serve. 

Be sure to use extra large shrimp (16/20 count). If I can't fine fresh (never frozen) shrimp, I like the frozen shrimp from Trader Joes's because it doesn't include any additives. 

I'm super excited about this shrimp dish! If you are shrimp lover, you will be too.

While I try so hard to make seafood dishes with a variety of fish and shellfish, I'm always drawn to shrimp. It's soooo good, and if you get Antartica shrimp, it's almost like lobster.
