How to Make Lemongrass And Ginger Tea Marinated Shrimp Or Fish

  1. Brew 1 cup of lemongrass and ginger tea. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled tea, juice of 1 lemon, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp coriander, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, and the contents of 1 additional lemongrass and ginger tea bag. Stir well.
  3. Add 1 lb peeled shrimp (tails on) to the marinade. Marinate overnight for best results, or at least 1 hour.
  4. **For Barbecuing:** Thread marinated shrimp onto moistened skewers. Grill for 3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  5. **For Stovetop Cooking:** Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Serve immediately.
  6. **For Fish:** If using fish (approx. 1 lb fillet), marinate in the same tea mixture for at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp coriander, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper after marinating. Drizzle with 1 tsp sesame oil.
  7. Cook fish by broiling, grilling (3-4 minutes per side), or pan-frying (3-4 minutes per side) until cooked through and flaky.
  8. Garnish both shrimp and fish with fresh coriander.
  9. **Optional Festive Presentation (Baked Fish):** Place the fish fillet in parchment paper. Create a tent shape and secure with moistened skewers. Decorate the parchment paper with food coloring to suit the occasion. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
