Asian Grilled Shrimp

Here is the shrimp recipe that I used with the noodle salad. I grilled them and then put them on top of the noodles. If you want you can use chicken instead of the shrimp, just make sure the chicken is chopped big enough so that you can skewer the pieces. It will cook faster and the marinade will absorb better with the smaller pieces. Its always better to let these sit overnight in the marinade, a much richer flavor!!!!


1 lb shrimp without tails or chicken cubed
1 tsp of sesame oil
1 tbsp of rice wine
1tbsp of soy sauce
1 tbsp of honey
1 tbsp of sesame seeds
2 tsp of five spice powder ( this is an absolute must have in your spice cabinet)
3 garlic cloves, whole, smashed
4 slices of fresh ginger ( this is something that all markets should have but you will for sure find it at the asian market along with the noodles and the 5 spice powder)

Combine all ingredients in a sealable bag and mix well. Leave to marinate at least an hour.

Remove the shrimp and place on skewers and then on to a preheated grill. They will take about 2 min per side. You want them pink and tender. If you dont want to grill them you can cook them in a saute pan.

Place them on the noodle salad and enjoy!!!
