Recipe Introduction

THIS RECIPE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THE LINK WON'T WORK! A great appetizer OR main dish. Goes well with rice or pasta on the side. Or serve with grilled steak. Kinda' like a "Surf and Turf.

Recipe Link: THIS DOESN'T WORK! I'll have to contact Admin.

Recipe

Place shrimp in bag

Combine marinade ingredients, pour over shrimp and refridgerate for 1-2 hours

Preheat grill to "medium" heat

Remove shrimp from marinade and thread on skewers

Grill 5-7 minutes,turning and basting frequently with marinade

Serve hot with Cajun butter

NOTE: If using wood or bamboo skewers, don't forget to soak them so they don't burn.
HINT: I soak a bunch of wood or bamboo skewers overnight then wrap them in plastic wrap and keep them in the freezer for whenever I need some. Wipe them with oil before using and you'll never have a burnt skewer or stuck on food.
