Rosemary Shrimp Scampi Skewers


For true shrimp lovers, is there anything better than a simple grilled shrimp?   Simple ingredients allowing you to savor that incredible flavor that is shrimp.

Serve this with roasted red potatoes or a baked potato and a green salad or vegetable.

ROSEMARY SHRIMP SCAMPI SKEWERS (2 servings)

1 Tbsp dry white wine
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp EVOO
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic, minced
about 3/4 pound large shrimp (6-9 per serving, depending on size....I used 21/25 and 6 each were plenty for us)
about 6 (6") rosemary sprigs
cooking spray

Combine first 6 ingredients in a ziplock bag.  Add shrimp to bag; seal and shake to coat.  Marinate in frig for 30 minutes, turning bag occasionally.

Working with 1 rosemary sprig at a time, hold leafy end of sprig in 1 hand.  Strip leaves off sprig with other hand, leaving 1/2" of leaves attached to leafy end of sprig.  Repeat procedure with remaining rosemary sprigs to make 6 rosemary skewers.  Thread 3 shrimp onto each rosemary skewer.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.  Coat both sides of shrimp skewers with cooking spray.  Arrange 3 skewers on pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until shrimp are done.  Remove from pan; keep warm.  Repeat procedure with remaining skewers (using our large George Foreman standing grill....all of my skewers fit at the same time).
