We love to cook foods in banana leaves! They imbue foods with a delicate grassy flavor and fragrance. Plus, it’s an economical and environmentally friendly wrapper, not to mention a brilliant way to cook seafood on the grill. If you’re tired of the same ol’ same ol’ when it comes to cooking shrimp on the grill—i.e., on skewers—try this preparation. It’s easy and tasty and makes for a pretty presentation. This recipe also works well with scallops, mussels, and clams.
