Toasted sesame seed Asian grilled shrimp image

I wanted to try this out first before I made this for company coming in a couple of weeks. It really turned out good, phew...and when I make the marinade next time I'll make a lot more of it to freeze. We had this with risotto & fresh asparagus and a garden salad. These were suppose to go on the BBQ but our winds kicked up so I...

Categories     Seafood

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound cleaned " tail on " shrimp ~ 26/30 count
½ cup sliced green onions " white and green parts "
2 & ½ tablespoons sesame seeds
1 ~ 13 ounce jar plum preserves
¼ cup soy sauce
1 cup pineapple juice from a 20 ounce can of canned pineapple chunks " not in heavy syrup " reserving the pineapple for another meal
1 teaspoon sriacha hot sauce " optional " but this really puts it over the top!

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, large shrimp. They will hold up better on the grill and have a more succulent flavor.
  • Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender.
  • Use a high-quality sesame oil. It will add a delicious nutty flavor to the shrimp.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink in the center. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled sesame shrimp is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a party appetizer. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, then grilled until they are cooked through. The result is a delicious and succulent shrimp that is sure to please everyone.
