Apples, Shrimp and Basil, a Perfect Kabob

We make these anytime shrimp goes on sale. In Colorado, that is not very often but we make then when we can. Here is what you will need. 
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 2 Gala apples, cored and cut into eighths
  • 16 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
Basically mix all the ingredients except the apples and Shrimp together as a marinade. Then pour it over the shrimp and apples. Marinade for at least a half hour then build your kabobs. Grill them over medium heat until done. Enjoy. Very quick. Very simple. Very Nice.
