Grilled Shrimp Marinated in Miso Butter (Gluten-Free)

Celiac.com 09/24/2015 - We have the Japanese to thank for this bit of deliciousness. Miso paste, mirin, sake and, wait for it…butter, are the magic ingredients in this delightfully easy, ridiculously tasty shrimp dish.

If you don't keep mirin and sake on hand, you should. They are not expensive, and, together with soy sauce and dried bonito flakes, they form the base of much of Japanese cooking. As for miso paste, well, that and a bit of dash will deliver the best miso soup you've ever had, ever time, so they're good to have on hand, too.
