Easy Grilled Sesame Shrimp with Shishito Peppers
Preparation
1. In a bowl combine, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, the chili paste, soy sauce or coconut aminos, lime juice and a 1/2 tsp of salt and pepper. Coat the shrimp completely and allow it to marinade for up to an hour if desired.
2. Toss the shishito peppers in the remaining sesame oil, salt, and pepper and set them aside as well until you are ready to prep the shrimp.
3. To skewer your shrimp and peppers (do not put on the same skewer) use the two skewer method. Place the skewers no more than an inch apart and thread each shrimp onto both skewers evenly. This makes it easy to turn and easier to grill. Repeat the same process with your peppers as well.
4. Preheat the grill to medium high heat and grill your shrimp and peppers about a minute or two per side. Shrimp should be cooked to 145 F and the peppers should have a slightly blistered skin all the way around.
5. Remove from the grill and removed from the skewers. Toss in a bowl and garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and serve with a dipping sauce or over rice.
Notes
For a dipping sauce, combine 1/4 cup of sour cream, a little lemon or lime juice, and some chili paste to taste until you get the right flavor and consistency.
