2 Tbsp lime juice

2 green onions, white part only, minced

1 Tbsp chopped fresh mint or cilantro

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

wooden or metal skewers (soak the wooden ones in water before grilling so they don't burn)

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, olive oil, ketchup, garlic, coriander and cumin. remove shells from shrimp, leaving tails intact. Pour marinade over shrimp in a shallow, glass baking dish or in a heavy duty, resealable plastic bag. Make sure each piece of shrimp is coated with marinade. Refrigerate for one hour.

Meanwhile, prepare salsa. Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse on and off until mixture is pureed. Pour into a small glass serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Remove shrimp from marinade and thread pieces onto skewers. Grill over medium-hot heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, basting with extra marinade. Serve immediately with salsa.
