Broiled Thai Shrimp
serves 2-4
Broiling is an often overlooked, easy way to quickly cook shrimp. The full range of Thai tastes and flavors in this dish really stand up to the brininess of the shrimp without overwhelming their pleasantly marine bite.

1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 green onions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced

1. To make the marinade: whisk together all the ingredients except the shrimp. Prep the shrimp and submerge in the marinade. Set aside to marinate for 20-30 minutes.
2. Preheat the broiler and place the rack 6-8 inches below the heat source. Place the shrimp on skewers or in a single layer on a foil-covered baking sheet and drizzle with the marinade. Broil for 2-3 minutes, then turn the shrimp and broil until the shrimp are opaque, another 2-3 minutes.
