Ingredients

FOR THE SHRIMP

  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp (21/25 count) peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon Momofuku Chili Crunch
  • 2 teaspoons Za'atar seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • Pinch kosher salt

FOR THE MISO BUTTER

  • 6 tablespoons butter softned
  • 2 tablespoons white miso
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion white and green part, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the oil, garlic, chili crunch, Za'atar, pepper, and salt and let stand for 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour. TIP: If using frozen shrimp, once defrosted, dry the shrimp with paper towels before marinating to remove excess moisture.
  • In a 10-inch non-reactive skillet over low heat, melt the butter and miso together and whisk until smooth. Then stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and scallions. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Light a grill and preheat a grill pan (or skewer the shrimp). Grill the shrimp over high heat, turning once, until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Immediately add the shrimp to the miso butter and toss to coat. Garnish the shrimp with scallions and serve.

Notes

TIPS & VARIATIONS:
    • Subbing other types of miso: Since white miso is the mildest in flavor, it's best to add smaller amounts of yellow or red miso, to taste. 
    • Easily adjust the spice with more or less chili crunch.
    • Prep Ahead: Prepare the miso butter it up to 2 days in advance and store it in the fridge. Gently reheat before tossing with the shrimp.
    • No grill? Broil or pan-sear the shrimp over medium-high heat instead.
