Asian Sesame Shrimp

After a night out with my Mom we were looking for a quick dinner, but that is no excuse to not have a great dinner.  Knowing we would be eating late I didn't want anything that would take more than 30-40 minutes to get from start to finish.  I planned to have roasted carrots, white rice pilaf and Asian Sesame Shrimp.  Prior to going out to dinner I thawed a pound of shrimp, removed their shells and set them to marinate in Kraft's Light Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing.

Asian Sesame Shrimp - Serves 2


1lb Thawed & Deviened Shrimp
1/3C Kraft's Light Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing

As mentioned above I let the shrimp marinate for a few hours while we were out on the town! You could probably get away with a minimum 30-40 minute marinade if you don't have time to do it before hand. When you are ready to cook the shrimp toss the shrimp in a single layer on a Pam'd cookie sheet and toss in a 400° oven for 2-3 minutes. Flip the shrimp and continue to cook an additional 1-3 minutes (this will vary depending on the size of your shrimp) You want the shrimp to be completely white and pink with no gray / translucent qualities to the shrimp.

For timing I cleaned and peeled the carrots and started them roasting, then I started the rice pilaf and 5 minutes before the pilaf was done I tossed the shrimp in the oven and everything finished up at the same time.

This marinade is a great nutty Asian influenced dressing that is fantastic on the shrimp as well as chicken breast.
