CHILE GINGER SHRIMP

Grilled or broiled, and marinated in a bath of flavorful spices, these shrimp are a crowd pleaser. Serve alone as an appetizer, or with a watermelon salsa. These can be grilled or broiled, or make them as a kebab with a mix of shrimp, bell pepper, white onion, and zucchini. Also, use these in tacos, over pasta, over a salad - even serve cold - they keep 3 days in the fridge in an airtight container.

Instructions

PINEAPPLE WATERMELON SALSA

Prepare your vegetables by chopping/dicing them to the desired salsa thickness. Place all of the first 6 ingredients into a glass or ceramic serving bowl. Mix in the chopped cilantro and splash of lime juice. Add a dash of Magique to taste, don't use too much. Mix together.
Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to blend the flavors.

SHRIMP & MARINADE

Whisk marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Combine shrimp and marinade together in a ziplock bag or bowl, reserving 1-2 Tablespoons for brushing the shrimp while it cooks. Cover and refrigerate in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
Broiler: Preheat broiler to 500F. Line sheet pan with foil. Place shrimp on pre-soaked skewers (if desired) then on the lined sheet pan. Place pan in the oven and broil for 5-6 minutes total, turning halfway through.
Grilled: If grilling with wood skewers, be sure to soak skewers in water first, preheat the grill, and spray with cooking oil. Place shrimp on pre-soaked skewers and grill for 5-6 minutes total, flipping halfway through.
Shrimp will be opaque with whitish color when fully cooked and will continue to cook once you’ve removed it from the heat.
Brush shrimp with extra marinade and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve with the salsa, or to your preference. Enjoy!
