Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine 1/3 cup of water, vinegar, lemongrass, ginger, lime zest and crushed red pepper in a small nonreactive saucepan. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 Tbs water in a small bowl and add to the vinegar mixture using whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking at least twice. Boil for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
  2. Bring the remaining 12 cups of water and kosher salt to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until opaque in the center, about 3 minutes. Strain. Arrange on baking sheet with a lip. Refrigerate until partially chilled.
  3. To assemble: Peel the shrimp, leaving the tail attached. Cut a slit (1/2 to 1/4 inch deep) down the back of each shrimp from the top to the tail. Be careful not to cut completely through the shrimp. Rinse the shrimp in a bowl of cold water to remove the vein. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess water. Place a cilantro sprig in the cut of each shrimp. Brush with glaze before serving- I put remaining sauce in bowl on plate with shrimp :).
