ingredients

¹⁄₄ cup lime juice, fresh
¹⁄₄ cup water
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
bamboo skewer
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

directions

Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. While skewers are soaking, preheat grill for high heat.
In a small saucepan, combine lime juice, water, sugar, ginger and soy sauce. Cook over high heat until about 1/4 cup of liquid remains. Cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix chile powder, salt and pepper. Put the shrimp in a large bowl and add oil and spices. Toss to coat. Thread shrimp on bamboo skewers through both head and tail ends.
Grill shrimp directly over high heat, with lid closed, until slightly firm on surface and opaque in center (3-4 minutes). Remove from grill and carefully slide shrimp off skewers into clean bowl. Drizzle some of the glaze over shrimp. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Serve warm.
