Succulent Grilled Shrimp Kabobs

Here is another great grill recipe for the holiday! I made these at my brother Ted's 4th of July bash yesterday and they were the hit of the party. Everyone commented on them and most wanted the recipe. My brother and his wife Kim know how to throw a celebration. Many memories are made at their pool parties. There is always plenty of food, drink and fun.

Ingredients:

3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup tomato sauce
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
Old Bay to taste
2 Pounds fresh jumbo shrimp (16 to 20 count), cleaned and deveined
Skewers, Soaked in water

Directions:

In a large bowl stir together the garlic, olive oil, tomato sauce, and red wine vinegar. Season with basil, salt and cayenne pepper and old bay. Reserve a portion of marinade for basting. Add the shrimp to the bowl and stir until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring once or twice.

Preheat grill for medium heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Sprinkle with Old Bay Seasoning. Discard marinade.

Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp on preheated grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until opaque. While cooking baste with reserve marinade.
