How to Make Gingered Shrimp
- In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup soy sauce to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the ginger to infuse the sauce.
- Stir in 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice (or lime juice), and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
- Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the sauce. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably 3, to allow the shrimp to fully marinate.
- **Option 1 (Simmered):** Gently heat the marinated shrimp and sauce until heated through. Do not boil.
- **Option 2 (Grilled):** Preheat grill to medium-high. Thread marinated shrimp onto skewers. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
- Before serving, sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions.
