garlic (minced)

tbsp ginger (minced)

Combine all ingredients, and toss to coat.

Grill on high, turning once until charred and pink, about 3 minutes per side.

Excellent recipe. All the flavors meld perfectly. The sesame oil is understated and compliments the ginger nicely. 
 This is a definite must have when company’s coming. No one is ever disappointed.

It was hit with my daughter so it’s a keeper. Moist and flavorful. Thanks!

Absolutely delicious!  These shrimp are quick and easy.  We used 16-20 count shrimp and cooked them directly on the grill without skewers.  This is my “go to” recipe for grilled shrimp now!

I have made this recipe several times. It is the best damned shrimp!

i discovered this recipe last summer 2021 and this is hands-down the best grilled shrimp recipe i have ever made!  it has become my go-to for grilling shrimp and is always a big hit at backyard bbq's.  

i have read other comments regarding the saltiness, so i just wanted to point out that this recipe calls for KOSHER SALT, which is the big grainy course salt.  this is different than regular salt, but if all you have is regular table salt try reducing to just 1/2 tsp.

Just left a rating for your bourbon salmon recipe (spoiler alert: it's delicious!) and was looking around your site. Had no idea you're also the creator of my favorite shrimp recipe!  I've made this grilled shrimp soooo many times.  It really is the best and super easy. Thanks!

As I get ready to make these for the 4th time tomorrow I thought I should come let you know how much I love these! I’ve brought these to a friends house marinated and ready to grill and they were a HUGE HIT!!

Wow!  I just tried this recipe and it was outstanding!  I had all the ingredients except sesame oil.  So I substituted canola oil.   This was my 1st grilled shrimp recipe and the only one I will ever use.  Thank you so much for sharing this with us.  The shrimp was super flavorful and would not change a thing.

Made them tonight and they we’re a big hit! I added some dried chili pequin flakes for some spice and had 3 of our guests ask for the recipe.  Sent them your page.
