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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers for grilling, soak them in water while the shrimp marinates to prevent burning.

Step 5

Heat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. If grilling, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately as an appetizer, over rice, or with a side of vegetables. Enjoy!
