Grilled Shrimp with Teriyaki Glaze

Blue Jean Chef

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 tsp. soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 3 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh gingerroot, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. sesame seeds, toasted
  • Pinch hot red pepper flakes
  • 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Vegetable oil
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Chopped fresh chives

Preparation

Preheat your outdoor BBQ grill and Technique® BBQ grill pan for at least 10 minutes. The grill is hot enough when you can only hold your hand one inch above the grill grates for 2 to 3 seconds before you have to pull it away.

While the grill is preheating, make the teriyaki glaze. Combine the soy sauce, orange juice, honey, garlic, gingerroot, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then simmer gently for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Set aside.

Dry the shrimp well with a paper towel and toss with the vegetable oil. Season well with salt and pepper. Place the shrimp on the grill side of the BBQ grill pan. Grill for 3 minutes, tossing occasionally. When bright pink and cooked, push the shrimp over to the griddle side of the BBQ pan and pour on some of the teriyaki glaze. Glaze for another 2 minutes and then remove, sprinkle with the chives, and serve. Serves 4.
