Prawns are marinated with lemongrass ginger garlic and a dash of fish sauce then grilled with the shell on for maximum juiciness.

Spicy grilled shrimp with lemongrass
Serious eating moments / Shao Z.
Remember when Kenji published his article on how to grill shrimp to perfection where he wrote that one of the best ways to ensure tender grilled shrimp is to cook them in their shells? And remember how he threw that option out the window just to be nice to those of us who don’t like having to peel our shrimp and get our fingers dirty? He spent so much time perfecting a method for removing the shell that I will definitely be using in the future from the baking soda and sugar dry brine to the clever spit arrangement that ensures juiciness.
But I really really like shelled shrimp Kenji. I like them even better when they still have their heads on. To be honest I like the heads just as much if not better than the meaty tails. So I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes for grilled shelled shrimp so you have some options. Shelled and shelled shell off we’ve got you covered.
