BBQ Shrimp

Here's another summer treat. Seafood is made that much better by grilling.

Soak wooden skewers in water 20-30 minutes to prevent scorching. You'll need approximately 16 ten-inch wooden skewers.


Lemon-Basil Sauce:
2 cups chopped basil leaves
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon peel
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic minced

Whisk together or process in a blender/food processor.

Run 2 parallel skewers through two shrimp. Add a piece of scallion, then two more shrimp.

Grill shrimp 6-8 minutes on a side, turning onnly once. Serve with sauce for dipping.

Teriyaki Steak Kabobs

The grill came out of it's winter home in the garden shed, so it must almost be summer. I love summer foods ... grilled "anything" is our food of choice. This is one of our favorites.


2 lb boneless steak cut of choice (I tend to use boneless chuck)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Cube meat to desired size. Mix together all marinade ingredients and marinate meat cubes 2-3 hours before grilling.

Thread meat on skewers, alternating with onion, zucchini, or other cubed veggies. Grill until meat juices run clear.
