Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of white miso paste, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 minced lemongrass stalk, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger, the juice of 0.5 lime, and 0.5 teaspoon of chili flakes to create the flavorful marinade.

2. 2

   Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined large shrimp to the bowl, toss gently to ensure the shrimp are thoroughly coated with the miso marinade, and allow them to marinate for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and ready for searing.

4. 4

   Carefully place the marinated shrimp in a single layer into the hot skillet, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.

5. 5

   Sear the shrimp for approximately 2 minutes per side until they turn a beautiful pink and opaque, and develop an appealing golden-brown crust.

6. 6

   Remove the perfectly pan-seared shrimp from the skillet and gracefully transfer them to a clean serving platter.

7. 7

   Garnish the finished dish with 0.25 cup of fresh chopped cilantro and 2 chopped green onions before serving immediately for the best flavor and enjoyment.
