Recipe: Shrimp Kabobs with Spicy Marinade (using apricot preserves)

SHRIMP KABOBS

"The marinade in this skewered shrimp recipe is excellent - very spicy! You can add vegetables to this, such as peppers or sliced zucchini."

3 tbsp oil
2 tbsp hot sauce
2 tbsp apricot preserves
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp rosemary
1 tsp minced garlic
1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tbsp lemon juice

Stir together oil, hot sauce, preserves, honey, syrup, red pepper, pepper, basil, oregano, rosemary and garlic. Set aside a small amout for basting. Stir shrimp into remaining marinade.

Cover and chill at least 1 hour. (We usually do it overnight.)

WHEN READY TO COOK:
Drain shrimp; discard marinade.

Thread shrimp on skewers. (I use small wooden ones for appetizer size portions.) Pour lemon juice over kabobs

Broil (or grill) shrimp for 4 minutes per side, brushing with reserved (unused) marinade.
