SHRIMP TERIYAKI KABOBS
You can add bell pepper or onion to these kabobs. I served them at a party so I used the 21-25 count shrimp and they were devoured. Can be an appetizer or a main dish, depending on your presentation.

Steps:
- In a large zip-lock bag combine teriyaki sauce, onion, garlic, sugar, zest and a splash of pineapple juice from the chunks.
- Add shrimp and toss to coat.
- I let them set in the fridge all day till I was ready to skewer them to grill.
- Be sure and soak your skewers if you are using wood!
- Place a pineapple chuck in the curve of each shrimp and place on a skewer, going through the "head" of the shrimp, the pineapple and then the "tail".
- I was able to get about 4 on each skewer.
- Grill about 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp is pink.
- You can baste with the marinade if you want but I did not.
- You can also broil this if you don't have a grill.
- I removed from the skewers for my guests but would probably serve on skewers if I had fancy ones.

- 3. Split the marinade evenly between 2 large resealable bags.
- 4. Add the shrimp and steak to one bag and the vegetables to the other.Seal the bags.
- 5. Turn the bag to coat and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, turning occasionally.
- 6. Preheat the grill to medium high. Drain the marinade and discard.
- 7. On metal or soaked wood skewers, thread the steak, shrimp, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes and peppers alternately.
- 8. Place the skewers on the grate of the grill and cook turning ever 4 minutes until steak is cooked to desired doneness.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. Look for shrimp that are fresh and firm, with a translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
- Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar will help to tenderize them and add flavor.
- Use bamboo skewers. Bamboo skewers are the best type of skewer to use for shrimp teriyaki kabobs, as they are strong and will not burn.
- Cook the shrimp on a hot grill. This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the shrimp and keep them juicy on the inside.
- Serve the shrimp teriyaki kabobs with a dipping sauce. A simple dipping sauce made with soy sauce, mirin, and sake is a great way to add extra flavor to the shrimp.
Conclusion:
Shrimp teriyaki kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful teriyaki sauce, then grilled and served on skewers. These kabobs are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a light meal.
