Based on a recipe from Favorite Brand Name Low-Carb Magic cookbook. If this isn't 5 stars it's because the cookbook title says eat good food and lose weight as opposed to eat great food and lose weight ! You be the judge! I like it; I did swap out the vegetable oil with sesame oil. For a more attractive presentation, leave tails on the shrimp. Ingredients:
4 bamboo skewers, roughly 12-inches long |
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined |
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon sesame oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) |
3 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill or preheat broiler.
2. Soak the bamboo skewers in water 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, place shrimp in large plastic bag.
4. Combine soy sauce, oil, garlic and red pepper in cup; mix well. Pour into bag containing shrimp. Close bag securely; turn to coat. Marinate at room temperature 15 minutes.
5. Drain shrimp; reserve marinade.
6. Alternatively thread shrimp and onions onto skewers. Place skewers on grid or rack of broiler pan. Brush with reserved marinade; discard any remaining marinade.
7. Grill, covered, over medium-hot coals or broil 5 to 6 inches from heat 5 minutes on each side or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
8. Serve on letuce-lined plate with lemon wedges.
