Ingredients

2 pounds large shrimp, shells on (heads, too, if possible)
2 tablespoons coarse salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced

2 tablespoons sesame oil

Steps:

Rinse the shrimp, pat them dry (leaving the shells on) and toss them in a mixture of salt, pepper, peanut oil, garlic, ginger and red pepper. Preheat grill or broiler.
Place the shrimp on an oiled rack and grill for two to three minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook them. Remove them from the grill, place them in a bowl and toss them with sesame oil. Serve immediately.
