Ingredients: 8 jumbo shrimp (U16 or larger), heads removed, peeled but tail intact; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; ½ teaspoon fish sauce; ¼ teaspoon white pepper; 8 fresh betel or perilla leaves (or large shiso); 4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed; 1 tablespoon lime juice; 2 bird's-eye chilies, charred whole over flame and minced; 6 garlic cloves, minced fine; 2 tablespoons neutral oil; 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs; Fleur de sel; Cilantro sprigs

Jumbo shrimp are butterflied and cured briefly in salt and fish sauce, then grilled until just cooked and kissed with char. Each shrimp is presented still in or wrapped in a single scented leaf (betel, shiso, or perilla), then topped with a crispy burnt garlic crumb and finished with charred chili-lime brown butter. Meant to be eaten warm, by hand, as the shrimp releases its sweet brine into the charred butter.
