I appreciate that the rationale for each step is given - and it's not some unscientific reason such as: tradition, "authenticity", or it's the chef's preference.
Serious Eats is the world's best resource for perfectionist amateur cooks. No other website figures out the optimal recipes and techniques as well, all while presenting it in a way beginners can understand.
Love some of their work, but don't think they took into account different sized shrimp, actual temperatures, de-veined vs not, and I think they just carried over the baking soda / sugar technique from another use instead of actually testing it on this. -Do we really want brown shrimp, do they show brown shrimp?
Great to see videos from you more often. Every time am going to cook anything I google serious eats to see if they have done it in the past Last week I made the mushroom soup and is fantastic
Excellent recipe leading to a successful and very tasty result -- just as good as, if not better than, a classic shrimp scampi. I recommend the recipe, and will make it again.
The sugar caramelizes on the surface of shrimp. The "brown" color you'll see is actually the sugar. As for taste of sweetness, umm...."don't worry, it won't taste sweet."????? It's sugar. It WILL taste sweet. Also, sugar should be a last resort ingredient for food, especially proteins, or seafood, because sugar is not good for your health. Put a little olive oil on your shrimp. That will help brown it.
While I don't believe that sugar is bad for your health, I do agree to a point, that the shrimp will have an unecessarily sweet taste. However, I don't understand why, if you're adding baking soda to raise the PH (which facilitates browning), would you need to add the sugar?
I've grilled shrimp plenty of times. I never had any issues browning them and they were not overcooked. I love the science behind food, but all these steps for grilled shrimp is just absurd. Clean em, pat them dry, season, coat with oil, cook on a really high heat, and remove em before they overcook. Clean and simple.
Sure they could have cooked more things. However, why make it a point in the video if it's not necessary for the *one* dish that is being show? FYI: Orthogonal means perpendicular not whatever you think it means.
The two zone grill is so that you can really concentrate the heat over a larger area and be able to grill more skewers at once. If you stack all your coals in the middle, the heat radiates out, but you only get that super-hot, great for searing, temperature in the very center. You'd have to cook your skewers 1 or 2 at a time!
My goodness! The amount of negative comments in this thread are unbelievable. They look like qanon descendants 🤣 I find this useful, will be using this method today. Thank you 😊
It's because logically it just doesn't make sense. You most likely shouldn't do all these steps sequentially like the video suggests but rather pick and choose one or two to see what results you prefer. It's literally the opposite of a conspiracy theory.

Yes, the sad truth is that the masses don't appreciate the scientific and rational way, but the sensational

@pman: That is patently false
It reads like ad copy written by the channel itself. Either that or this guy is one huge ass-kisser.

What sauce is used in this video?
looks like something containing chopped garlic and parsley, alongside some olive oil, lemon juice and salt/pepper.
This is quickly becoming my new favorite channel.
Step one: add cell phone commercial music
How much baking soda:salt?
Looks amazing!
Perfect video quality :) can You tell what camera is used ?:)

Do you keep the sugar on. I do not like the smell of seafood. What should I clean it with to take that smell out. ?
tjkooks scrub it with sea salt during prep, then rinse the salt off.
Really fresh seafood doesn't smell. If it smells you might not want to eat it.

Made ‘em as directed. Truly the best grilled shrimp I’ve ever eaten. An opinion that was shared by 100% of those that partook.

Glad someone isn't just going along with this craziness. This all seems so extra and wrong.
Sugar????
I don't know
So confused
Looks Yummy forget to get diet again😊
1. take shrimp out of package
2. Grill it
3. Enjoy with your favorite beer

Size of shrimp is probably the difference.
And wait an hour to marinade, and wait to dry...Alot of waiting..
Sauce of ur choice.....really
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN... REALLY
I love how they used TWO SKEWER'S! 👏
This recipe should be called Pain-in-the-Ass Shrimp.
hey
Nice series
What was that.....bs
What's the point of making a hot side on your grill if that's all you use?
Brett Smith it is not orthogonal that this is the only thing they cooked because this is all you saw in the video

Brett Smith HAHAHAHAHAHA take that graduation gown and hat off and ask for a refund on everything you have studied in your life - you peanut.....

SiroccoDream there you go!
Why remove the shell and miss that great chard flavour?.
i think i'll just go to outback
Just easier to eat. Not juice. Just my opinion
Shrimp is quite healthy, why on Earth would you pollute it with Sugar is beyond me.
why would you want to brown shrimp? - strange to me
flavor. Try it.
The pictures look gross....and sugar on shrimp. never heard of that...i'm gonna pass on this method.

Feels more like 500 steps
We had to throw all the shrimp away. Not edible! I think this was a prank.
