Before moving on to the this yummy recipe. I would just like to announce that this is my 400th post on culinaryginger.com and want to thank everyone reading this and my supporters for allowing me to keep the website going. That is a lot of recipes and I hope you are all with me for the next 400 and beyond. Now, on to the dish at hand…
This grilled miso shrimp was recently part of a complete meal along with edamame snap pea salad with ginger sesame dressing and toasted coconut rice. Miso not only makes a delicious soup, but it gives great umami to a marinade for chicken or fish. When I eat shrimp in this way, I usually serve with some kind of dipping sauce, so I made a dipping sauce with the reserved marinade that I didn’t use for the raw shrimp.
What you have is a complete meal with lots of flavor, but yet light at the same time and since grilling season is right around the corner, this is a delicious and different way to serve grilled shrimp.

What gorgeous shrimp! They look and sound absolutely delicious. Congratulations on 400 posts too 🙂
What a gorgeous-sounding recipe, Janette. Can’t wait for the accompaniments. Coconut rice… mmm!
Oh, and congrats on reaching 400 posts! Now for the next 400!
I can’t wait to make this recipe. It looks perfect for me! I don’t have any sake or mirin in the house, so I’m wondering if I could make this white white wine instead. Or maybe broth? Otherwise, I have everything for this recipe right now! mmmmmm! And that whole meal sounds great- waiting for those other two recipes now!
Wow, 400!? Congratulations!!! I absolutely love using miso in seafood marinades – it’s adds such wonderful complexity without overpowering the dish! And the zippy lime – perfection! Pinning!
Love the flavors! Looks delicious! Will try it for my next barbecue!
