Korean Sesame Shrimp

Okay, I can't let you live your lives any longer without this recipe. We use it with shrimp, but it probably would work fine with beef, pork, poultry, or fish. It only takes 10 minutes to prepare and if I don't make it often enough, my kids want to know what the heck is going on.

They can't remember to do their homework, but they remember to ask for this recipe. Go figure...
