Easy and delicious! Onions, peppers, and mushrooms are perfect when alternated with shrimp on the skewers. Just cut into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade with the shrimp.

Prep Time: 30 Minutes

Cook Time: 6 Minutes
Yields: 3 servings

INGREDIENTS:

	1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
	1/4 tablespoon ground black pepper
	1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
	2 tablespoons dry white wine
	2 tablespoons Italian-style salad dressing
	1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails attached
	1/4 cup honey
	1/4 cup butter, melted
	2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
	skewers

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, mix together garlic powder, black pepper, 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce, wine, and salad dressing; add shrimp, and toss to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat grill for high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard marinade.
In a small bowl, stir together honey, melted butter, and remaining 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce. Set aside for basting.
Lightly oil grill grate. Grill shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Baste occasionally with the honey-butter sauce while grilling.

Recommened wine pairing:

Ballentine Chenin blanc

(featured in the last newsletter)

Shrimp requires wine with some acidic backbone and little or no oak. A Reisling is a natural match. New Zealand Savignon Blanc also has the bright acidity that goes well with shrimp, as does Pinot Grigio.
