The next day squeeze any excess water out of onions and mix remaining ingredients together. Refrigerate after use.
Remove shrimp (prawn) from shell and cook shell so it stays open to hold the meat after cooking. Grill shrimp until medium and cut into bite size pieces. Heat yuzu kosho dressing in a pan and add shrimp inside toss to coat and cook through.
Place meat back inside shell and serve with a lemon.
