Toasted Sesame Seed Asian Grilled Shrimp Recipes

SESAME SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place shrimp and half of the marinade in a ziplock bag for at least 15 minutes to let flavors blend.
• Thread shrimp onto skewers (discard any marinade left in bag).
• Grill 2-3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp is cooked through.
• Brush with remaining marinade and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

TOASTED SESAME SEED ASIAN GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• 1. Place the shrimp and green onions in a large zip baggie and refrigerate.
• 2. In a dry skillet roast/toast sesame seeds, till they are slightly toasted. You'll know they are done when you can smell them. Once you start to smell them, watch them carefully as they will burn in a nano second.
• 3. Remove the pan off the hot part of the stove and let the seeds cool in the pan.
• 4. Once the pan has cooled add the preserves, soy sauce, pineapple juice & hot sauce simmer very slowly till it had reduced by 1/2. This should be thick at this point. How long this part will take depends on your stove, everyone's is different. I simmered mine about 20 to 25 minutes. Just make sure you stir it every 5 minutes or so. Let it cool.
• 5. This must be very cool before you add it to the shrimp!
• 6. In the baggie with the shrimp and green onions add ½ of the cooled marinade and seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Take it out and turn it over a couple of times so all the shrimp gets marinated.
• 7. Reserve the other ½ of the marinade for another meal.
• 8. Before you put the shrimp on the skewers you'll want to put them into a collider and drain them off for about 5 minutes. You'll want to do this to avoid flair ups if you are grilling them.
• 9. When you are ready to grille the shrimp, take two skewers at a time holding them side by side, and put the shrimp on them " this is the messy part " once you have them all on the skewers, grill them for about 5 minutes per side.
