Marinated ginger shrimp

Date: January 13, 2008

This Japanese dish can be prettily arranged on a serving plate. Sweet sherry may be substituted if the sweet sake is not available.

1 1/2 pounds frozen shrimp, shelled and de-veined
1/4 normal cup soy sauce
3 ounces ginger root, chopped
1/4 normal cup vinegar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons sweet sake
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 to 3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion

Cook shrimp as directed on package, drain. Arrange shrimp in single layer in glass or plastic container. Heat soy sauce to boiling, add gingerroot. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar, sugar, sake and salt, pour over shrimp. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Remove shrimp from marinade with slotted spoon, arrange on serving plate. Garnish with scallion.
