Time 25m

Yield 10 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 11

30 large shrimp, peeled and devined (or medium, about 1 lb)
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated
1/3 cup lemon juice, fresh
1/4 cup vodka
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons ginger, minced
1 garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak 10 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes before starting.
  • Vodka Lemon Sauce: In a small saucepan, over low heat, combine sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice; heat gently until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Let cool, then stir in vodka, oil, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Place shrimp in a deep bowl and spoon 3 T sauce over top; toss to combine. (do this no more than 30 minutes ahead or the lemon juice will start to toughen the shrimp) Set the remaining sauce aside in the saucepan.
  • Thread shrimp onto skewers, leaving space between pieces, Grill, turning once, for 5 minutes or until pink and opaque. Arrange skewers on a serving plate.
  • Whisk cornstarch into the remaining sauce and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes or until thickened and glossy. Transfer to a bowl and place next to the shrimp skewers. ~ Or ~ cook the shrimp on the stovetop. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute shrimp, shaking pan for about 4 minutes or until pink and opaque.
