Asian Grilled Shrimp

Ingredients:

• 3 garlic cloves, whole, smashed
• 3 slices fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon rice wine
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 teaspoons five spice powder
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 pound shrimp

• Directions:

• Combine all ingredients except shrimp in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill to high. Remove shrimp from marinade, reserving the liquid, and place directly on grill. Cook 1 to 2 minutes each sides, until color turns pink.
• Place reserved marinade in a small saucepan, removing the ginger slices. Bring to a boil and simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Drizzle over cooked shrimp and serve.
• Serve this slightly sweet, grilled shrimp over steamed rice with a side of greens, such as sautéed broccoli. The delicate flavors of this Asian marinade might get lost in a red wine or heavy white, so stick with crisp, clean whites for the best complement.
