GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS
Steps:
- Put the olive oil, garlic and chile flakes in a small skillet. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture heat for about 10 minutes; the oil should just barely simmer around the garlic in the last few minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Transfer to a blender, add the 1 tablespoon oregano and some salt and pepper, and blend until the garlic and oregano are finely chopped. Set aside half of the chile-garlic oil for serving.
- Heat the grill to high. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, threading so that the skewers goes through the tail and thick end of each shrimp. Brush the shrimp with some of the chile-garlic oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly golden brown on both sides and opaque, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the reserved chile-garlic oil (not the oil you used for brushing the raw shrimp). Garnish with oregano, and serve with more of the reserved oil.
GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS
"This recipe is similar to a barbecue shrimp dish I love at a restaurant in Florida," writes Sandy Lutz from North Canton, Ohio. "I serve it as an entree with brown rice and a salad, but it could work as an appetizer, too."

Steps:
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add orange concentrate and brown sugar.

- If using wooden skewers, first soak in water 30 minutes, then drain (to prevent burning). Lay 6 shrimp side by side; slide a skewer through head ends to secure together. Thread a second skewer through tail ends. Spread shrimp slightly so there are small gaps between them. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Preheat grill to high; brush grates with oil. Grill bread, flipping once, just until lightly charred and crisp in places, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer to a platter or board; brush with oil.
- Brush shrimp with half of remaining glaze and grill, turning once, until opaque and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Brush with more glaze, turning a few times to caramelize, until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from grill and brush with some of reserved glaze. Serve over grilled bread, with remaining reserved glaze on the side.

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE
Fresh wild shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico (and the Atlantic coast off the Carolinas and Georgia) are the best option for shrimp lovers. Leave them in the shell, which keeps them juicy, before threading on skewers to grill. These are seasoned only with a little salt, then served with a spicy red pepper sauce that takes cues from the Catalan romesco.

Steps:
- Prepare a hot charcoal grill. Lay peppers directly on the grill and let them blister, turning frequently until blackened all over, about 8 minutes. Set aside on a plate until cool enough to handle. (Alternatively, roast peppers on the stovetop, directly on the flames of a gas burner.)
- Cut peppers in half lengthwise. Cut off stems, scrape away skins and seeds, and discard. Do not rinse; a bit of char is OK. Chop the peppers into 2-inch chunks.
- With a food processor or blender, whirl together peppers, almonds, pimentón, cayenne and garlic to form a rough paste. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly add olive oil to achieve the consistency of a thick milkshake. Taste, adjust seasoning and transfer to a serving bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, boil potatoes in well-salted water until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Place onion pieces on the grill skin-side down. Salt lightly. Cover with lid and cook until onions are soft, about 15 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
- Place boiled potatoes on grill and cook until slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, thread shrimp onto skewers, 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, without crowding. (If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning.) Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Lay skewers on grill over hot coals. Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook until shrimp turn pink and are a bit charred, 3 minutes more
- Arrange shrimp, potatoes and onions on a large platter. Serve with the red pepper sauce and lemon wedges.
GRILLED MARINATED SHRIMP SKEWERS
The secret to this outstanding shrimp is the tomato paste and seasoned salt, you can double the complete recipe but keep the fresh garlic at 2 tablespoons. Plan ahead the shrimp will need to marinade for 2 hours, but no more than that or the acid in the fresh lemon juice will start to "cook" the shrimp!

- Cut chicken breast halves diagonally into 20 to 25 (1/4-inch-thick) slices (about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide; if breasts are thin, hold knife at a 45-degree angle to get 1-inch-wide slices). Toss with marinade in another bowl and thread each slice lengthwise onto a skewer.
- Toss shrimp with marinade in another bowl, then thread 2 shrimp onto each of 20 to 25 skewers.
- Toss mushrooms with marinade in remaining bowl and thread 2 small mushrooms or 2 large halves onto each of 20 to 25 skewers.
- Prepare grill for cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure," below.

- Grilling Procedure
- If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows:
- Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds
- Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds
- Low: 5 to 6 seconds
- If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, mix together the tequila, lime juice, olive oil, margarita mix, honey, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- 2. Skewer the shrimp; about 4-5 on each skewer. Place skewers in a dish long enough for them to lay flat.
- 3. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, cover and place in refrigerator for 1-4 hours.
- 4. Heat grill to a medium-low heat. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and serve.
- 5. These go great with your own coleslaw recipe or a nice rice medley.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. For best results, use large, fresh shrimp that have been deveined and peeled.
- Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs enhances their flavor.
- Soak the skewers. Soaking the skewers in water prevents them from burning on the grill.
- Skewer the shrimp properly. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers in a way that prevents them from spinning.
- Grill the shrimp over medium heat. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking.
- Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Grilled shrimp skewers are best served hot, right off the grill.
Conclusion:
Grilled shrimp skewers are a quick and easy appetizer or main course that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a healthy and delicious way to enjoy shrimp. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect grilled shrimp skewers every time.
