Instructions: In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until fragrant. In a shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons sesame seeds with the sesame oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. Thread 3 shrimp onto each skewer, piercing each at the head and tail, and place in the marinade. Turn to coat, and set aside for 10 minutes.

Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame seeds on a plate. Transfer the skewers to the plate, and coat with the sesame seeds.

Heat the skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the skewered shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp, and cook until the marinade thickens.

Place the skewers on a plate, and pour the marinade over them. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Makes 4 servings.
