The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


8 (10-inch size) wooden skewers
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 piece (1-inch size) fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/2 pound large shrimp, deveined, peeled, tails on if desired
olive oil, for cooking grates
Soak the skewers in water for one hour before grilling.
Whisk together the soy sauce, peanut oil, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and stir to coat the shrimp in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Do not marinate overnight.
Preheat the grill and oil the cooking grates.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade. Thread 4-5 shrimp on each skewer. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 1 minute per side or until the shrimp are pink.
Serve immediately.
