• 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sake, honey, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

While the shrimp marinates, prepare the ginger aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the shrimp from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 6

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 8

Serve the shrimp hot with the ginger aioli on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
