Sesame Shrimp

Sesame Shrimp ..... serves 2

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 dash lemon-pepper seasoning
• 1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• Hot cooked rice
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic powder and lemon-pepper; add shrimp. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Drain and discard marinade. In a skillet, saute shrimp in remaining sesame oil until shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Serve with rice if desired. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Marie's Note: I followed the recipe for the shrimp, marinated it in most of the sauce, and then grilled it on an indoor grill pan and sprinkled it with the sesame seeds. I put the shrimp in a salad made up of cooked pasta (tossed in a little of the marinade.....reserved before putting the shrimp in it), shredded coleslaw mix, green onions, diced red pepper and roasted peanuts. Chilled the whole thing before serving.
