How to Make Orange Ginger Shrimp Skewers

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade.
  3. Gently toss to ensure all shrimp are evenly coated.
  4. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  5. Remove shrimp from marinade, reserving the marinade.
  6. Thread shrimp and 2 cups of orange segments (about 2 large oranges) alternately onto 8 skewers.
  7. Heat a large grill pan or skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
  8. Grill skewers for 4 minutes per side, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
