In salted water cook barley according to directions on bag. Cook through and strain and then rinse with cold water. Place in a bowl and add scallions, soy sauce, mirin and sesame oil and toss. Add salt and pepper to balance taste.

RED HOT CHILI OIL VINAIGRETTE: Bring oil to 140 degrees F, add red pepper flakes, stir and allow to steep for 2 hours.

In a food processor or bowl with whisk combine garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, rice wine vinegar and sugar and begin to slowly add chili oil until mixture is slightly thick.

Yield: approximately ¼ cup to ⅓ cup chili oil.

Cut cucumbers into slices and lay around outside of plate and add barley to center. Lay shrimp skewers across top of barley and using a ladle, drizzle vinaigrette on top of plated items.
