Ingredients
- 1 ½ - 2 ½ pounds Shrimp (use more for a main dish, less for appetizers - it's up to you!)
- 1 ½ cups water cold
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup soy sauce (I used low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- cilantro roughly chopped
- sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Add water, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, corn starch, and sesame oil to a medium sauce pan and stir to combine. Stir over medium heat until thickened, then remove from heat.
- Add 1/2 of the sauce and the shrimp to a sealable container and marinate for 15 minutes.
- Thread shrimp on skewers and discard the marinade sauce. Cook shrimp on a preheated grill over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
- Serve shrimp immediately with remaining sauce and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Pro tip: this is a great appetizer, but double the recipe and serve over rice for a main entree!
