  • 2 – tbsp. diced ginger
  • ½ cup – chopped Cilantro
  • 1 – 500ml can of Radler beer
  • 2 – cloves of chopped garlic
  • 1 – tbsp. coarse pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients into a large bowl. Whisk until combined. Add the thawed/ fresh shrimp to the marinade and refrigerate for min 4 hours.
  2. Combine sauce ingredients into a mid-sized bowl and stir until equality combined. Place plastic wrap over the bowl and refrigerate until shrimp are ready to serve.
  3. Pre-heat grill to 400°F (204C), season the cooking grids thoroughly before grilling.
  4. Place shrimp on the grill shell side down – Keep the shell on the shrimp as it will keep the shrimp from drying out while grilling.
  5. Let grill for 2-3 minutes and then flip for another 2-3 minutes. Size of shrimp will dictate the cook time, so be sure to use a thermometer and achieve 120°F (49C) internal temperature before serving.
  6. Place the shrimp onto a serving platter and drizzle the yogurt sauce over the shrimp. For garnish you can add some freshly chopped Cilantro. Peel the shells off the shrimp and enjoy!!
