This was our favorite dinner of the week! It's an easy recipe for shrimp skewers with a side cucumber salad from Real Simple.
Real Simple has a spread each month dedicated to '10 ideas for:_____' based on one basic, key ingredient. This recipe stood out to me. So, I circled it. Obvi.
Start with 1 lb frozen raw, deveined medium to large shrimp, thawed
You'll also need housin sauce and sesame seeds
Turn your broiler on high, and position the rack up top
Spray a baking pan with cooking spray and thread the shrimps onto skewers. I did regular length for dinner portions, and cut one in half for an appetizer size. Wrap the ends in aluminum foil.
Baste with the housin sauce and broil 3 minutes each side (basting again in between).
Meanwhile, make the cucumber salad. You'll need: 1 cucumber, 2 green onions, 1 Tbsp canola oil, 1 Tbsp rice vinegar and salt and pepper. You would definitely double this for a crowd.
Thinly slice the cucumbers and green onions and toss all together.
Sprinkle the skewers with sesame seeds before serving.
This was really fast for a dinner meal and it was the perfect amount for us. We loved it! This would be a fabulous appetizer and you would probably need to double the whole recipe for a large group.
