1/4 cup Asian sesame oil
1/4 cup rice wine or dry sherry
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbs. honey
2 cloves garlic, crushed with the side of a cleaver
21/4-inch-thick piece fresh ginger, sliced and flattened with the side of a cleaver
2 trimmed scallions, the white part flattened with the side of a cleaver and the green part finely chopped

Recipe



Combine marinade ingredients in a large bowl; whisk until honey dissolves. Stir in shrimp. Marinate 30 minutes.

Preheat grill or broiler to high. Drain shrimp in a strainer over a saucepan. Boil marinade until thick and syrupy, about 4 minutes. Thread shrimp on skewers and place on the grill (or under broiler) until cooked through, 2 minutes per side, basting with marinade. Transfer shrimp to a platter. Sprinkle with the scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve at once.
