Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 2 Green onions (chopped)
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, fresh lime juice, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well combined to create the marinade.
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Add the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring all the shrimp are coated evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, but no more than 1 hour.
If using wooden skewers for grilling, soak them in water while the shrimp marinates to prevent burning.
Heat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. If grilling, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately as an appetizer, over rice, or with a side of vegetables. Enjoy!
