Sweet and Spicy Orange Shrimp Kabobs
Category: Seafood Dishes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
Directions
- Peel and devein the shrimp and lay them out single file, unlayered in a large baking dish (glass).
- In a medium bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Pour mixture over the shrimp and coat thoroughly.
- Cover and chill overnight or as long as possible, at least 2 hours. Turn the shrimp over several times during the marinating process.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade and place on skewers. Skewer each shrimp twice – once at the tail and once at the top so that each shrimp keeps its curved shape.
- Place kabobs on a barbeque grill over medium heat and grill until the color changes completely. Flip once while cooking; do not over cook. Serve with rice or mixed greens.
