How to make Grilled shrimp with turmeric mojo sauce
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Pulse the garlic, chillies, ginger, lime juice, orange juice, sugar, vinegar, and turmeric in a food processor until combined and almost smooth.
With the motor running, gradually stream in 80 ml of oil and process until emulsified.
Pour half of the sauce into a small bowl and season with sea salt. Set aside for serving.
Transfer the remaining sauce to a medium bowl, add the shrimp, season with sea salt, and toss to coat.
Clean and oil the grill grate, then arrange the shrimp on the grill. Grill until bright pink and lightly charred, about 1 minute per side.
Divide the shrimp among serving bowls. Spoon the reserved sauce over each portion and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with rice if desired.
