A succulent appetizer or hors d’oeuvre. Very easy to make and easy to impress.

Ingredients

24 Medium uncooked shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

4 tablespoons White sesame seeds, toasted

1/2 cup Mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Soy sauce

1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon Powdered cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon Light sesame oil

2 Scallions, cleaned and chopped

2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro

24 Small metal skewers or wooden toothpicks (if using toothpicks, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using so that they don’t burn in the oven)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss the shrimp with the vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Dip one side of each shrimp in the toasted sesame seeds. Skewer with a toothpick. When the oven is heated, place the skewered shrimp (sesame seeds on top) on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake 5 to 7 minutes, until the shrimp are firm to the touch.

2. For the dipping sauce, put the remaining ingredients into a bowl and mix until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with the warm shrimp.
