Dinner June 1, 2011 - Grilled Shrimp

Hello, my summer chefs!!  I hope the weather has you wanting to fire up the grill, fill up the kiddie pool and grab a beer while you flip some burgers....or tonight, some shrimp :)  We will be dining on yummy, grilled shrimp tonight--simple and tasty!!

Grilled Shrimp

1 lb raw, deveined shrimp, peel on
1 T garlic
2T Olive Oil
2 T Chives, chopped (this will add a little extra flavor--I'm trying to incorporate herbs into our menus--bear w/ me!!!)
1T Spicy Oregano (I found this herb plant at the nursery and had to have it!!  Not really sure what it is, or exactly how it tastes, but it sounds neat!!  You can always just use regular oregano)
Dash of salt
Wooden skewers

Heat grill to med-high.  In a ziploc bag, combine all ingredients--except skewers; the shrimp doesn't skewer itself ;)--Shake and let sit for about 10 minutes.  Soak skewers in cold water while shrimp sits.  Load shrimp onto skewers and grill, 3-4min per side.  We had this tonight w/ a small salad made of spinach, yellow peppers and mushrooms.  I might serve this w/ a side dish of Asian rice or noodles--those little packets you can buy at the store.  But I didn't have that here!!  This shrimp was yummy and made it feel like summer.  Enjoy :)
