Note: if you are not familiar with Asian sesame oil, its right near the soy sauce and can be used for a number of marinades and dipping sauces.
2
Combine all ingredients except shrimp and whisk until fully incorporated.
3
Peel shrimp, remove the tails and pat dry.
4
Throw them into the marinade and stir around until they are all coated.

You can let the shrimp marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
6
Not much longer than that.
7
Skewer the shrimp onto metal or wooden skewers.
8
Cook on the grill for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until all are pinked up and cooked through with a nice char.

We have a set of oven mitts we reserve for the grill.

This way, you just grab the skewer ends and flip them overnice and easy that way.
