Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.

Step 2

Set aside 2 tablespoons of the marinade for brushing the shrimp while grilling.

Step 3

Place the shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring all the shrimp are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking.

Step 5

Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning).

Step 6

Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque, brushing with the reserved marinade as they cook.

Step 7

Remove the shrimp from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
