GRILLED SHRIMP KABOBS AND DIPPING SAUCE
This recipe was inspired by my husband. He is Mexican so he has taught me to play with different flavors and ingredients, though the recipe idea came from a karaoke bar that served spicy shrimp one night. I thought this would be a perfect kabob recipe for indoor/outdoor entertaining. It is getting close to summer again and grilling is the best way to entertain this season.

Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Opt for large, fresh shrimp with the shells removed and deveined. This will ensure that they cook evenly and have a tender texture.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will infuse them with extra flavor and keep them moist during grilling.
- Skewer the shrimp properly: To prevent the shrimp from falling off the skewers during grilling, skewer them lengthwise through the center of the body, making sure to leave a little space between each shrimp.
- Grill the shrimp over medium heat: This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp are best served hot off the grill. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.
