How to Make Asian Honey Tea Grilled Shrimp

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, whisk together 1/2 cup strongly brewed black tea (cooled), 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Remove 1/2 cup of the marinade and set aside for the dipping sauce.
  3. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the remaining marinade in the bag, ensuring each shrimp is evenly coated.
  4. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Remove shrimp from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
  7. Thread shrimp onto 8 skewers, dividing evenly.
  8. Grill the shrimp for 4-6 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are firm to the touch. Turn once during grilling.
  9. While the shrimp grill, prepare the dipping sauce: In a small saucepan, bring the reserved 1/2 cup marinade to a boil over medium-high heat.
  10. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  11. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions into the reduced sauce.
  12. Season the grilled shrimp with salt to taste.
  13. Serve the grilled shrimp immediately with the dipping sauce. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
