Honey Lime Shrimp

I have been on such an asian food kick lately. It probably has something to do with my Olympics obsession. I am glued to it every night until the wee hours of the morning! Anyway, I had some shrimp that I thawed out to make shrimp scampi, but I was so in the mood for more thai food. Using the left over ingredients from my Thai food, I concocted this marinade. We ate them with the leftover Thai pineapple rice last Sunday night. It totally satisfied my craving, and I will definitely be making this again!

Ingredients:

1 clove minced garlic

1 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce

1 tsp. toasted sesame oil

1 tsp. rice wine vinegar

1/4 tsp. ground ginger

pinch ground red pepper

juice of 1/2 lime

1/2-1tsp. honey

1/8-1/4 cup cilantro

2 green onions-white and light green parts sliced

Wisk all ingredients together. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow flavors to marry. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in saute pan and add shrimp. Cook over medium high heat until pink on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Serve over rice and enjoy!
