Ginseng Grilled Shrimp

Description

Ginseng Grilled Shrimp is where ocean-kissed deliciousness meets earthy root-powered goodness! These zesty skewers combine the juicy snap of shrimp with the energizing punch of Canadian ginseng for a flavour party that’s part spa retreat, part backyard BBQ. Perfect for impressing guests at dinner or just showing off to your own taste buds, this recipe brings health and heat to the grill. You’ll never look at shrimp the same way again—especially once they’ve been smooching ginseng in a tangy garlic-lime marinade.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450g) large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

1 tsp lime zest

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp ground Canadian ginseng (or ginseng powder)

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, if you’re feeling spicy)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Lime wedges for serving


Instructions

  • Whisk it up – In a medium bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, honey, ginseng powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined. Try not to drink it—yes, it smells that good.
  • Marinate the shrimp – Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes. (More than that and your shrimp may stage a revolt.)
  • Get skewering – Thread the shrimp onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes first—because no one likes flambé sticks.
  • Grill time – Preheat grill (or a grill pan) to medium-high heat. Grill shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until they’re pink, opaque, and sporting those oh-so-satisfying grill marks.
  • Serve – Remove from heat, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with lime wedges. Bonus points if you pair it with a chilled ginseng iced tea!

Notes

Don’t over-marinate the shrimp! Shrimp are delicate creatures and they will turn rubbery if left too long in acidic marinade.

Ground Canadian ginseng gives an earthy, slightly bitter backbone that complements the bright citrus. If you’re new to ginseng, start with ½ tsp and adjust to taste.

Make it a meal: Serve with jasmine rice or a crisp cucumber salad.
