Ginger, spring onions, and soy sauce give these tiny skewers a tasty Asian twist. Pass a plate of these on the deck while sipping chilled sake or iced green tea. Be sure to soak the skewers in water a few hours before using so they won’t splinter or burn.

Ginger Shrimp Mini Skewers




Dan Goldberg
 1 tablespoon thinly sliced ginger, plus 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
 1/2 head garlic, cloves peeled and thinly sliced, plus 1 tablespoon finely grated garlic
 2 thinly sliced spring onions
 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
 24 large shrimp, peeled (leave tails on) and deveined
 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
 1/4 cup soy sauce
 Salt and pepper
1

Stir together sliced ginger, sliced garlic, spring onions, and olive oil in a bowl. Add shrimp, toss to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator 1/2 hour and up to 2 hours.

2

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high heat (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds).

3

Meanwhile, whisk together grated ginger, grated garlic, rice vinegar, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Thread shrimp onto soaked skewers (see notes) and season with salt and pepper.

4

Brush the grill with vegetable oil. If using coals, mound to one side to reach about 4 inches below the grill. Lay skewers on grill; close lid on gas grill.

5

Grill the shrimp until just opaque, about 1 minute per side. Serve skewers drizzled with ginger sauce.

Makes 24 miniature (4- to 4 1/2-inch) skewers
