Grilled Ginger-Lime Shrimp

By Chez_Alexander

Since the chopped garlic is part of the marinade, which adheres well to the shrimp, it has plenty of time to develop its potent nutritional compounds. Serve over rice.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
• 2 tablespoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 32 shrimp)
• Cooking spray

Preparation
