1 cup fresh orange juice |
1 cup water |
1 tsp minced shallots |
1 tsp minced ginger |
1 tsp minced garlic |
for the shrimp |
8 peeled and de-veined shrimp |
2 tsp finely ground premium chinese green tea |
1 tsp minced ginger |
1 tsp minced garlic |
1 tbs 'orange chili sauce |
1 tsp toasted sesame oil |

Directions:
1. Prepare the Orange Chili Sauce:
2. Place ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and reduce sauce until it becomes the consistency of syrup. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and reserve.
3. For the Shrimp:
4. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees.
5. Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Interlock shrimp in pairs, using their half moon shape to your advantage. Roast in the oven for 6-8 min., until fully cooked.
6. For the Grilled Pineapple and Sauteed Snow Peas:
7. Coat pineapple with the soy sauce and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Char on the grill until it has good markings. Heat the peanut oil in a small saute pan and saute snow peas for 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
8. To arrange the plate:
9. Place one slice of the grilled pineapple onto each plate, followed by the sauteed snow peas and then top with shrimp. Drizzle a tablespoon of the orange chili sauce around and over the shrimp. Garnish with cashews, lotus root and orange.
