Shrimp on the Barbi (gotta use an Australian accent) Recipe

Shrimp on the Barbi

36 Raw Large Shrimp with tails (peeled and deveined)

Marinade:   ½ cup Teriyaki sauce (low in sodium)

¼ tsp. ground ginger

¼ tsp. nutmeg

¼ cup fresh parsley

3 Tbsp.  Agave Nectar

Basting Sauce:   ¼ cup Teriyaki sauce

Fresh juice from one (1) lemon

4 tsp. Agave Nectar

1 Tbsp. canola oil

Peel your shrimp, leaving the tails intact.  Place them in a shallow dish with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.  Stirring once.

In a small bowl, mix all your basting ingredients and whisk, set aside.

Slide 6 shrimp on each skewer leaving a space between each shrimp and fire up your grill.  It will only take a few minutes to cook, but you need a good even fire.

Place each skewer on a HOT grill.  Baste and close your grill.  Cook for 2 minutes.  Turn your skewers and baste again.  Close your lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Your shrimp should be DEEP PINK WITH GOLDEN EDGES AND CHARRED TAILS.  Don’t  over cook them….they will get tough.

DO NOT BASTE WITH YOUR MARINADE.  DISCARD MARINADE.
