Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

• 1 lb large fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails left on)
• 3 tbsp chili crisp (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
• Sliced scallions and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chili crisp, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
2. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
4. Thread 4 to 5 marinated shrimp onto each soaked wooden skewer.
5. Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are opaque, vibrant pink, and have slight grill char marks.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges.
