Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp
- 1 stalk green onion, green part only, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, very finely minced
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon finely minced chile pepper (or to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
- bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
Instructions
- Preheat grill to high heat. In a large bowl, add all ingredients and mix thoroughly to coat the shrimp. At this point, you can refrigerate for up to overnight or just proceed to next step.
- Skewer the shrimp - for jumbo shrimp, you may want to use two bamboo skewers for each (see photo or video). Grill 2-4 minutes each side (depends on how big the shrimp are). Serve immediately.
- To broil, set the oven rack to 8" below heating unit. Broil 4 minutes per side or until cooked through.
