1/3 c. fresh lime juice
1/3 c. fresh orange juice

Kosher salt
1 1/2 lb. large shrimp, peeled, deveined

To Prepare
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Pulse garlic, habernero, ginger, lime juice, orange juice, sugar, vinegar and turmeric in a food processor until combined and almost smooth. With the motor running, gradually stream in 1/3 c. oil and process until emulsified.
Pour half of the sauce into a small bowl; season with kosher salt. Set aside for serving. Transfer remaining sauce to a medium bowl and add shrimp. Season with kosher salt and toss to coat.
Clean and oil grate, then immediately arrange shrimp on grill. Grill until bright pink and lightly charred, about 1 minute per side.
To Serve
Divide shrimp among bowls. Spoon reserved sauce over; sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with rice, if desired.
