Recipe: Citrus-Marinated Shrimp on the Barbie

CITRUS-MARINATED SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE

Australians love seafood and grilling. Grilled shrimp (known as prawns) with a citrus base is a favorite, especially for beach barbecues. Coriander, both ground and in its leaf form (otherwise known as cilantro), is used to add another layer of Aussie flavor.

1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon McCormick Gourmet Collection Ground Coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick Ground Cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 red, yellow or orange bell peppers, cut into chunks
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks

Combine orange juice, olive oil, coriander, cumin, garlic, cilantro and salt in a self-closing plastic bag or glass bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes, or longer for stronger flavor.

Skewer the shrimp alternately with the vegetables.

Grill kabobs 7-8 minutes, turning frequently and basting with marinade, until shrimp are cooked through and vegetables are tender.
