The Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the rice vinegar, water, soy sauce, canola oil, brown sugar, flour, garlic and ginger.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, whisking frequently, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
The Shrimp:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the shrimp and green onion pieces into a large bowl and toss with the canola oil, salt and pepper.
- Alternately thread the shrimp and green onion pieces onto the skewers.
- Place on the grill and cook until the shrimp is just cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Take care not to overcook the shrimp or it will become rubbery.
- Place the skewers on a serving platter and brush with most of the teriyaki sauce. Serve with extra sauce for drizzling or dipping.
