Pork and Apple Skewers image

Meet the Cook: Necessity was the "mother" of this recipe! I'd already marinated the pork before realizing we were short on kabob vegetables. In place of them, I used apples I had on hand. This has since become one of my most requested dishes. I have prepared these tangy skewers for just the two of us - my husband and I, married only last July, are both in the military - and for friends. -Cheryl Plainte, Minot, North Dakota

Whiskey Apple BBQ & Asian Ginger Shrimp Skewers image

I had a pound of some beautiful jumbo shrimp for our Valentine's Day dinner and I didn't want to ruin them. After browsing through many online recipes for skewered shrimp, however, I got frustrated and decided to make up my own. This ended up as a delicious side dish to our skillet seared ribeye steaks! Feel free to make this...

Provided by Holly Grier- Wallace

Categories     Vegetable Appetizers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 c asian ginger sauce (i used gordons signature) or similar sweet and spicy asian sauce
1/4 c open pit apple whiskey bbq sauce
1 large onion, peeled and sliced lengthwise for skewers
1 large avocado, peeled and sliced lengthwise in thick slices for skewers
1 large tomato, sliced lengthwise for skewers

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit in order to get a good sear on the shrimp. Place the grilling pan in the oven while it preheats to warm the pan. Wash and slice the onion, avocado and tomatoes in large slices for the skewers (i.e. lengthwise and thick enough to hold together). Tip for slicing avocados; first slice them with the skin on then peel away the skin from the slices.
  • 2. Rinse and pat dry the shrimp and place in a large bowl.
  • 3. Add 1/2 cup of the Asian Ginger sauce and the Apple Whiskey BBQ sauce and stir well. Add the tomato, onion and avocado and toss gently to coat the ingredients well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes. You can marinade the recipe longer or shorter periods of time, depending on how much time you have before supper.
  • 4. Using either metal or wooden skewers, spear the shrimp so that it will lay flat on the baking sheet (through the head and tail). Alternate the vegetables and shrimp on the skewer. If you use wooden skewers be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before baking.
  • 5. Carefully remove the baking pan from the oven and place the skewers on a baking sheet laying the shrimp and vegetables flat.
  • 6. Turn the oven setting to Broil and broil at the highest rack in the oven for 4-5 minutes, turning once during the baking time. To check for doneness, make sure the shrimp is opaque.

Tips:

** * **Choose firm apples:** Softer apples, like Red Delicious, tend to fall apart when cooked. Look for firm varieties like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. * **Coat the apples in lemon juice:** This helps prevent the apples from browning. * **Use a variety of spices:** Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and flavors. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice are all classic apple pie spices, but you could also try cardamom, ginger, or even a pinch of cayenne pepper. * **Cook the apples until they are tender:** The apples should be soft enough to pierce with a fork, but not so soft that they fall apart. * **Serve the apple skewers warm or cold:** Apple skewers can be served warm, right off the grill, or cold, after being chilled in the refrigerator. * **Top with your favorite toppings:** Apple skewers can be topped with a variety of things, such as caramel sauce, whipped cream, or ice cream. **

Conclusion:

** Apple skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, picnics, or even just a quick snack. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique apple skewer recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a fun and tasty snack, give apple skewers a try!
