- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon gochujang
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade:

- In a mixing bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions.

2. Marinate the Shrimp:

- Place the shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Prepare the Charcoal Grill:
