I made this with shrimp and chicken. I had the fresh citrus, but used ginger powder, honey and a little soy sauce to make up the 1/4 C sesame oil (1/2 recipe). I think it tastes better on the shrimp than on the chicken. So would make it with only shrimp next time. Made for Asian tag 8-09.

Mmmmmmm...another winner Jen! Delicious and simple to put together. I reduced the quantity of marinade ingredients by half and it was perfect. I tasted the marinade and the Japanese in me told me to add a bit of soy sauce and I did. I cooked these on stovetop grill. Made for Asian forum unrated Asian recipe tag game.
