Description
Camarones al Mojo de Ajo by @goatboyintl
Big flavor, quick cook. These Camarones al Mojo de Ajo come together in under 10 minutes but pack an incredible punch. By cooking shrimp in a wok over charcoal, you get maximum Maillard browning without overcooking—and a subtle smoky aroma that takes this dish to the next level.
Recipe
Ingredients
• Shrimp (fresh, shell-on preferred)
• Garlic, chiles, and spices
• Butter (lots of it!)
• Lime and fresh herbs to finish
Steps
1. Heat a wok over charcoal to bring high, direct heat.
2. Sauté shrimp quickly with garlic, chiles, and spices until just browned.
3. Add plenty of butter to bloom aroma compounds and balance the savory flavors.
4. Finish with lime and herbs, then serve immediately.
Key Tips
- Cooking over charcoal gives a smoky depth you can’t achieve on a stovetop.
- Use shell-on shrimp for more flavor and protection against overcooking.
- The butter is key—it rounds out the chile heat and enriches the sauce.
