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.
