Sesame Shrimp Skewers

These shrimp skewers are fast to make and delicious to eat!  Pair with a salad or roasted veggies for a great summer meal.  This marinade could also be used with chicken or tofu.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails removed

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce

  • 1 clove of garlic, minced

Instructions:

  1. Make marinade by combining the sesame oil, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce and minced garlic.

  2. Place shrimp and half of the marinade in a ziplock bag for at least 15 minutes to let flavors blend.

  3. Thread shrimp onto skewers (discard any marinade left in bag).

  4. Grill 2-3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp is cooked through.

  5. Brush with remaining marinade and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Makes 2 skewers. Count each skewer as: 2 proteins and 1 fat. Thanks to L for passing this along!
