Try this Grilled Shrimp Skewers at Your Next Summer BBQ
June 19, 2008 — -- Soak bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes.
Crush garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to a paste with a mortar and pestle. Add olive oil, lime juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Place shrimp in a bowl, mix well with marinade, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Thread a serrano pepper onto a bamboo skewer, follow with a piece of onion, then a piece of tomato, and next a shrimp. Continue alternating the ingredients until you have 6 shrimp on the skewer and have finished with a serrano pepper.
Heat a cast iron grill or griddle to medium-high and cook the shrimp kebabs for 2 minutes on each side.
Yield: 4 servings
Chef's Tip:
Shrimp kebabs can be served with pico de gallo or salsa. Serve with white rice, black beans, or a mixed green salad.
