How to Make Broiled Shrimp With Honey Sesame Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic until the honey is fully dissolved.
  2. Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the bowl and gently toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  4. Thread marinated shrimp onto skewers. Reserve the marinade in a small saucepan.
  5. In the saucepan with the reserved marinade, whisk in 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to a syrupy consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
  6. Arrange shrimp skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Baste generously with the thickened honey sesame sauce.
  7. Broil for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining sauce over the shrimp. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
