Instructions
  1. Season shrimp with salt. In a food processor or blender add the green onion, garlic, jalapeno, onion, water, and blend. Use marinade to coat the shrimp. Refrigerate for 1 hr. Soak 14 skewers in cold water at the same time as you are marinating the shrimp.
  2. Add 5 shrimp at a time to each skewer and set aside.
  3. Heat stovetop griddle with 2 tbsp olive oil on high heat. When hot add skewered shrimp as many as can fit without touching. Cook Each side 3-4 minutes on each side, press down with a heavy cup to flatten more, drizzle with oil as needed.
  4. When done, squeeze lime juice on skewered shrimp. Brush skewers with sauce, extra for dipping, garnish with chopped cilantro, and green onion. If you don’t have a griddle, use a large skillet, make sure to cut off the bottom part of wooden skewers so it will fit in the skillet.
  5. Toss all the marinade ingredients into a small saucepan, except for the water and arrowroot. Bring to a boil on medium heat for a few minutes. Mix water and arrowroot, pour into the sauce, bring to a quick boil and immediately remove from heat.
