Shrimp Skewers… mmm mmm good.
Last Sunday, I decided to put to use some ingredients we had on hand and made shrimp skewers to be grilled. On each 12″ skewer I placed shrimp, onion slices, jalapeno pepper slices, and red bell pepper slices. I put them on in this order: S-O-J-R-S-O-J-R-S-O-J-R-S-O-J-R-S. Each sliced vegetable should be roughly the same size (about 1″ x 2″) to provide uniform cooking. To add extra flavor to the skewers, I made some compound butter using chives and garlic. For this I simply put a small stick of real butter in a small food processor with a small bunch of green onions and some fresh garlic and gave it a whirl until smooth. These skewers grilled up nicely and my youngest daughter even sang me a little ‘I Love Shrimp’ song. It was an original piece so I was very impressed. Below you can see what the shrimp looked like after preparation and ready for the grill.
