Ingredients

• Wooden skewers (4-inch)
• 24 large shrimp
• 1/2 cup light soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup peanut oil, plus extra for drizzling
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

Step 1

Soak 4-inch wooden skewers in cold water for 1 hour. Thread 1 shrimp onto each skewer so that the shrimp lie flat.

Whisk together the soy, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, white wine vinegar, lime juice and peanut oil together in a small bowl. Place shrimp skewers onto a plate and drizzle with peanut oil to lightly coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat grill. Grill shrimp 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Place shrimp on a platter, drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
