Easy Asian Shrimp

Servings people

Ingredients

1/2 cup white wine or use low sodium vegetable broth
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped jalapeño seeded
3 cloves garlic pressed
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp peeled and deveined
2 cups cooked brown rice
6 bamboo skewers

Instructions

DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinade shrimp for 30 minutes. Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Prepare rice.
In a small bowl, combine first 8 ingredients (wine through garlic); pour off 1/4 cup of marinade, cover tightly, refrigerate.
Place shrimp in a large zipper-topped plastic bag; pour remaining marinade on top then seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
Preheat indoor or outdoor grill to MEDIUM. Remove shrimp from marinade, transferring marinade to small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes then remove from heat.
Thread shrimp on prepared skewers and grill, brushing with the cooked marinade for about 1 1/2 minutes per side or until shrimp are nicely pink and opaque.
Serve over brown rice with reserved sauce.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve stir-fried baby bok choy on the side. VEGETARIAN: Use veggie patties and the same marinade, but you will need to marinate for only 5 minutes (or the patties will fall apart) and DO NOT GRILL; cook in a skillet on the stove top. KOSHER: Use boneless skinless chicken breast meat cut to the approximate size of shrimp and grill until juices run clear, about 4 to 7 minutes per side. GLUTEN FREE: Make sure wine (or broth), soy sauce and vinegar are gluten free.
