SHRIMP SKEWERS

Category: Kabobs/Kebobs/Skewers

2 tbsp minced fresh parsley leaves
2 scallions, minced
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Lemon-Thyme Mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp minced fresh thyme leaves
1 cup mayonnaise

Adjust an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler. Line a broiler-pan bottom with foil and cover with the slotted broiler-pan top.

Mix the parsley, scallions, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and gently toss to coat. Thread 2 shrimp onto each skewer. Arrange the skewers, running in the opposite direction, on the broiler-pan top. Cover the skewer ends with foil, (see photo).

Broil the shrimp for about 6 minutes, flipping them over halfway through cooking, until they are pink and the herbs are toasted. Serve at once with the mayonnaise.

Procedure for Lemon-Thyme Mayonnaise

Mix lemon juice and thyme with mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper to taste. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest to blend the flavors, about 10 minutes. Flavored mayonnaise can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Serves 10 to 15

You will need about 30 bamboo skewers for this recipe. Be ready to serve these skewers immediately after broiling.
