Ingredients
- 2 cherry or alder wood grilling planks, soaked for at least 1 hour
- 4 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked for at least 30 minutes
- 3 tablespoons tangerine zest, from about 3 large tangerines
- 1 teaspoon 5-spice powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- Fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons mild olive oil
- 1 pound large (21-30 count) peeled and deveined shrimp
- 1/3 cup fresh tangerine juice
- 1 tablespoon Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 to 2 teaspoons green curry paste
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped lemongrass
- 1 teaspoon minced peeled galangal or ginger
- 1 1/2 cups fresh steamed jasmine rice
Instructions
- Soak the wood planks and wooden skewers in water.
- Prepare a grill to medium-high direct heat. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place the tangerine zest on a baking sheet and bake until it is dry and crispy, about 15 minutes, stirring once or twice; cool.
- Transfer the zest to a small food processor or spice grinder along with 5-spice, sesame seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon salt then process until blended. Place the 5-spice mixture in a medium bowl with olive oil and shrimp and toss to coat. Thread the shrimp onto the soaked skewers, about 5 shrimp per skewer.
- In a small saucepan, heat the tangerine juice, chili sauce, curry paste, fish sauce, lemongrass, and galangal or ginger over medium-high heat until simmering. Cook until reduced slightly, 3 to 4 minutes and remove from heat.
- Transfer 2 tablespoons into a small bowl for basting the shrimp.
- Place the soaked wood planks onto the grill and cover until the wood starts to smoke, about 6 minutes. Turn the planks over, lay the skewers onto the planks and cover. When the shrimp start to turn pink, about 4 minutes, turn them and baste with the reserved tangerine sauce and continue to grill, covered, until the shrimp are cooked through.
- Serve the skewers over the jasmine rice and drizzle with the remaining tangerine sauce.
- Cook's Note: I smoke the shrimp on wooden planks, then add a light tangerine sweet-and-sour sauce to lightly flavor the shrimp.
