GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SPICY PECAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes.
• Combine water and cornstarch in small saucepan, mixing until cornstarch dissolves.
• Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook until thickened-about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in ginger and garlic.
• Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• In blender, combine cornstarch mixture and pecans, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes; blend until smooth puree.
• This may be done in a food processor, pulsing the mixture till it reaches your desired consistancy.
• Set aside while preparing shrimp.
• Prepare a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Skewer shrimp or arrange on grill topper and cook over grill, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and lightly browned.
• Serve shrimp over a puddle of sauce or serve sauce on the side for dipping.
