SPICY SESAME GRILLED SHRIMP

Ready in: 30 MinTotal time: 30 Min

I love the flavors of this simple marinade and how quickly they permeate the shrimp. Serve the shrimp with Pineapple Salsa (made from chopped fresh pineapple, red onion, and cilantro), or with an easy-to-prepare Cous Cous Salad made with toasted almonds and currants.

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 teaspoons oyster sauce
• 4 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• Asian Chili Oil or hot sauce, to taste
• 1 pound large shrimp - peeled, cleaned, and butterflied

Instructions

1. Combine the five spice powders, ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, sesame oil, vinegar and chili oil.
2. Whisk to combine, then add the shrimp and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
3. Preheat your barbecue or stove-top grill to high. Shake any excess marinade from the shrimp and place them onto metal skewers, or bamboo skewers (that have been pre-soaked in cold water for 30 minutes to avoid burning).
4. Grill the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
