Spicy Shrimp Skewers
ingredients
32 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
16 wooden skewers
Marinade
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 Tbsp. rice wine (mirin)
1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
3 scallions, minced
1 1/2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
preparation
8 servings
Preparation time: 26 minutes
Marinating time: 2 hours
Cooking time: 6 minutes
1. In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients, and add the shrimp. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
2. Add the wooden skewers to a pan of warm water and let soak for 1 hour.
3. Preheat the oven broiler. Line a broiler tray with foil, and coat the foil with cooking spray.
4. Drain the shrimp from the marinade. Add the marinade to a saucepan and heat to boiling over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer. Thread four shrimp onto a pair of skewers (using two skewers together stabilizes the shrimp as they cook). Broil for 1-2 minutes per side. Add some of the reserved marinade to the shrimp, and broil for 1 more minute. Serve hot or at room temperature.
