Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
32 large uncooked shrimp, cleaned and peeled
2 lemons (optional)
green onion (optional)

Combine first 6 ingredients and mix well. Reserve 1/3 cup of this sauce for serving.
Skewer shrimp (or chicken pieces) on 8 kabobs, alternating with slices of lemon and onion, if desired.
Brush kabobs with remaining marinade sauce.
Grill until shrimp turn pink.

Tips:

Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your kabobs the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger will help them to stay moist and juicy while they're grilling.
Use wooden skewers: Wooden skewers are the best choice for grilling shrimp kabobs because they won't burn or splinter. Be sure to soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
Grill the kabobs over medium heat: Medium heat will help the shrimp to cook evenly without overcooking. Cook the kabobs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are cooked through.
Serve the kabobs with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce will add extra flavor and moisture to the kabobs. Try serving them with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce or a sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled Asian shrimp kabobs are a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal. They're perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will love.
