Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for grilling)
• 2 tablespoons chopped scallions (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers if you are using them (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning).

Step 5

Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque all the way through.

Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
