What do you put on shrimp when you grill it?

[Medusa]

I've decided that I want to make shishkabob but I'm not sure if I should baste the shrimp or marinate it or what. Suggestions?

[caseysmom]

I would probably baste them in a little garlic butter and have lemon on the side, they will cook fast, try not to overcook.

Take some dried seasonings, oil, S+P......

(Dill, basil, italian seasoning or any mix of what you like!)

Make the marinade and chill it!

Make your skewers, soak them for about .5 hours and grill away?

I would do this but with a local brand of Vodka and add a mango to the mix.

Simple Grilled Mango Vodka Shrimp Kabobs: Prep Time: 10 minutes. Grill Time: 4 - 6 minutes. Marinate: 1 hour.

Marinade:
2 tablespoons minced ginger
3 clove garlic, minced
½ cup Van Gogh Mango Vodka
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 bunch scallions, 1 inch slices
1 large red pepper, chopped
2 lbs large peeled shrimp

In a large bowl, whisk together ginger, garlic, Van Gogh Vodka, lime juice, oil, sesame oil, and cilantro. Add shrimp, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Remove shrimp from marinade. Pour marinade into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and boil for one minute. Remove from heat. Alternately thread shrimp, scallions, and peppers on skewers.

Place skewers in center of cooking grate. Grill 4 to 6 minutes until shrimp turns pink and opaque, turning once halfwa y through grilling time, and basting with reserved marinade. Serve warm over rice or Chinese noodles.

Makes 6 servings.

I decided to take caseysmom's suggestion and baste them in garlic butter because one of my guests doesn't like shrimp and she brought some chicken to grill and I had to juggle both. Lately I can't walk and chew gum at the same time so I didn't want to complicate things. It turned out pretty good although she also brought deviled eggs and that's what I ate the most of. I can't get enough of those things!

I love shrimp and deviled eggs wayyyy too much. I know the meal was great!!
