Since we have a busy weekend, I decided to get the new recipes up today for those who are weekend shoppers for the coming week. We all like shrimp, so this recipe looked simple and tasty. Hope that it tastes good :)


Grilled Shrimp with Ginger-Hoisin Glaze pg 217

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients and set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the shrimp over, add the glaze, and simmer until the shrimp are opaque and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, top with the scallions, and serve.
