Prep Time: 10 Min.
Cook Time: 10 Min.
* 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger or 1 tsp. ginger powder
* 2 Tbsp. minced fresh lemongrass or 1 tsp. dry shredded lemongrass
* 1/4 c. extra dry vermouth
* 2 tsp. soy sauce or to taste
* 1 c. watermelon puree
* 1/2 c. sugar
* 2 lb. uncooked shrimp
1. Make the glaze by heating the oil in a 2- or 3-quart saucepan over medium high heat and in it sauté the garlic, ginger and lemongrass for a few minutes.
2. Reduce heat to low and stir in the remaining ingredients.
3. Divide the mixture in two, setting aside one half for serving as glaze/drizzle. Use the other half for basting or marinating the raw shrimp.
Note: Do not mix liquid from the two halves to avoid contaminating the glaze/drizzle.
