Grilled Herb Shrimp on Skewers

Grilled Herb Shrimp on Skewers is an excellent summer appetizer to bring to a dinner party with friends. It is also a great entree when served over rice with mango salsa (salsa recipe to follow!)

Ingredients:

3 Garlic cloves, minced

1 medium Yellow Onion, small-diced

1/4 cup minced fresh Parsley

1/4 cup minced fresh Basil

1 teaspoon Dry Mustard

2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

1 1/2 teaspoon kosher Salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground Pepper

1/4 cup good Olive Oil

Juice of 1 Lemon

2 pounds of Shrimp

Step one: Combine all the above ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, add shrimp.

Step two: Cover and marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or for up to 2 days in the refrigerator (I usually do 24 hours, but have also done 2 hours)

Step three: If using wooded skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes. Skewer the shrimp so that both ends of each shrimp are skewered. Broil in the oven until shrimp is cooked, approximately 2 minutes each side.

Enjoy!
