DIRECTIONS
FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE:
Combine the mayonnaise, tahini, mirin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a food processor and process until smooth. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
FOR THE SHRIMP:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Toss the shrimp in a bowl with the oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Dip one side of each shrimp in the sesame seeds. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, sesame seed-side up. Bake until the shrimp are opaque, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve warm with the dipping sauce.
DO-AHEAD TIPS:
The dipping sauce can be prepared 3 days in advance. The shrimp can be assembled up to 8 hours in advance and refrigerated.

Easy and yummy See all of Janet's reviews »
Delish and very easy, especially if you use already-peeled shrimp. And you don't need to put the dipping sauce in the food processor; just stir it well. I used lemon juice instead of lime as that's what was in my fridge.
