The Firecracker Shrimp App


My sister's friend Ilona provided the recipe for this app. The size of shrimp can be altered, according to personal preference. These can either be served at room temperature as an appetizer or served hot over steamed rice or noodles. Also, large pan-seared scallops can be substituted for the shrimp.

Ingredients:

- Quarter cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Quarter cup green onion, minced
- 2 tbsp. garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp. ginger, finely minced
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 tbsp. sesame oil
- 1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. asian chilli sauce
- 1 tbsp. white sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 pound of shrimp

In a bowl, combine the first 14 ingredients. Then either sauté, boil or grill 1 pound shrimp, deveined. Toss the cooked shrimp in the marinade. (Remove shrimp shells shell before placing them in the marinade).
