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

  1. Peel and devein the shrimp and lay them out single file, unlayered in a large baking dish (glass).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Pour mixture over the shrimp and coat thoroughly.
  3. Cover and chill overnight or as long as possible, at least 2 hours. Turn the shrimp over several times during the marinating process.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
