Houston Chronicle






List of Ingredients



• 24 large shrimp
  
• 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  
• 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
• 1 bunch of fresh basil (24 large leaves)
  
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
  
• 1 yellow or green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
  






Instructions



1. Place shrimp in a bowl and add lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Marinate 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, soak bamboo skewers in cold water to prevent them from burning.
   
   
2. Thread shrimp through the side onto the skewers, placing a basil leaf and a piece of bell pepper between each. (Alternate red and yellow bell pepper pieces.) Season with salt and pepper.
   
   
3. Preheat grill to high. Grill kebabs until shrimp and peppers are cooked, 2 minutes per side.
   
   Makes 4 servings.
