A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity Our Favorite Recipes Grilled Shrimp kabobs

First soak wooden kabob skewer in water for a couple of hours so they don't burn on your grill
Rub your Grill down with an onion cut in half so the kabob won't sticK to the grill AND it adds more flavor!
Start your grill by piling Charcoal into a pyramid and light your coals, let them flame up and be getting ready while you prepare your kabobs.

De vein jumbo shrimp, marinate ( 30 minutes) shrimp in Lemon juice, olive oil and what ever seasoning you prefer, typically I only add a little sea salt, but many use bay seasoning or seasoned pepper, or even Fajita seasoning
clean and divide scallions In another bowl place the scallions and rub with olive oil
Using a Fresh Pineapple Cut into larger chunks* so they stay on the skewer*
you may use any other veggie you like,, ie
cherry tomatoes
Zucchini
Purple Onion
garlic Cloves
Mushrooms
Bell peppers *any color
summer squash ,etc.
Bacon wrapped on the shrimp is excellent too ! ( use a tooth pick to hold on)
What ever you like but make sure you cut the pieces large enough that that don't fall off the skewer :wink:
**with any veggie rub with a little extra virgin olive oil, this will give it a better taste, and a nicer color **
alternate shrimp with your veggies and pineapples on your skewer but leave enough room at the end of the skewer so you can pick it up easily.
When the coals are WHITE spread them out carefully then place the kabobs on your grill and close the lid, this allows cooking without flaming, make sure the holes on your grill lid is half closed ( or on the sides where ever your holes are on your grill ), other wise the kabobs will Flame and Burn, )
The time allowed is only until the shrimp turns pink only a few minutes, I check every couple of minutes and turn it over so it's evenly cooked usually 10 minutes and it's done,,
BUT Don't waste those coals,, have some hot dogs or hamburgers to throw on there, or extra veggie's and Pineapple pieces for tomorrow's Meal

And some marshmallows! Gotta have marshmallows!



Kabobs done like this, Di, are my favorite! Thanks for posting it!
