18 jumbo-size shrimp (about 2 1/4 pounds), peeled and deveined along the curve of the back, tails left on
4 tablespoons fish sauce (an Asian condiment)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

Rinse shrimp in cold water, drain, and pat dry.
Combine the fish sauce, olive oil, sugar, and grated lemon zest in a bowl. Add the shrimp; coat well. Let rest, covered, in the refrigerator for 2 hours, tossing twice.
Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Arrange half the shrimp on the sheet, leaving a little space between each. Broil 3 inches from the heat source until just cooked, 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the rest of the shrimp. Then cool to room temperature. Pack up in a portable container and enjoy!
