Directions:Rinse shrimp under cold water, drain and blot dry with paper towels. Set aside while you marinade them.
Combine 3 tablespoons of sesame oil, rice wine, soy sauce, honey, sesame seeds, chili sauce and five-spice powder in a large bowl and whisk to blend. Stir in the garlic, ginger, scallions, and shrimp to coat, then cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 30-60 minutes.
Preheat grill too high.
Using a slotted spoon, remove shrimp from the marinade to a bowl and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Pour the marinade into a saucepan; remove and discard the garlic, ginger, and scallion whites, using the slotted spoon. Bring marinade to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, uncovered, to a thick syrupy glaze, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
