Category: Kabobs/Kebobs/Skewers
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

12 jumbo shrimp, peeled & deveined, tail tips intact
3 cloves of garlic, smashed
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp Slap Ya Mama, or your favorite
Cajun/Creole seasoning
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 bell pepper, quartered
1 red onion, quartered
Kosher salt
Black pepper
1 tomato, quartered (or cherry tomatoes)
Lemon wedges, optional
Tiger Sauce, optional

Put shrimp into a zipper storage bag or glass bowl, add the smashed garlic and toss. In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, Cajun seasoning & Old Bay. Pour mixture over the shrimp, cover and refrigerator for one hour.

When ready to grill, alternate 3 shrimp with the bell pepper and onion on metal skewers, leaving room at the end for tomato. You'll add the tomatoes toward the end of cooking. Sprinkle skewers with salt & pepper. Place on hot grill and cook until just about done, basting often with the marinade. Add a tomato wedge to the end of skewer and return to the grill just until roasted.

Sprinkle with Tiger sauce and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Makes 4 skewers.

Can also be prepared under the oven broiler.
