Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 6 pieces Skewers
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or oil for grilling
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, sesame seeds, and red chili flakes (if using). Whisk until well combined to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the grill or pan with cooking spray or oil.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, dividing them evenly among the skewers (about 5-6 shrimp per skewer).
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Transfer the cooked skewers to a serving platter and garnish with thinly sliced green onions.
Serve the Sesame Prawn Shrimp Skewers immediately, either as an appetizer or alongside rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
