CHARLEY GOLD'S GRILLED SHRIMP

2 pounds jumbo shrimp
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 garlic cloves
1 piece fresh ginger, 1-inch long, peeled, chopped fine
grated zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup orange juice
4 tablespoons sugar
bamboo skewers

Peel and clean the shrimp.

Combine all the other ingredients in a small bowl.

Place the shrimp in a glass or crockery bowl, pour the marinade over the shrimp, and refrigerate for 1 hour or more.

Meanwhile, soak bamboo skewers in water and prepare the grill.

When the coals are white-hot, place the shrimp on the skewers and then onto the grill. Boil the marinade 2-3 minutes in a small saucepan.

Grill the shrimp about 2 minutes on each side, just until they curl and turn pink inside, brushing frequently with the marinade.

Servings: 6
