Shrimp and Lime Skewers



Do you remember my post from July on Entertaining with Tapas? If you haven't seen it, you can find it HERE.

In that post, I promised to come back with some Tapas recipes. Well here is a really good and easy one your guests will love. 

Those shrimp and lime skewers are so delicious and simple to prepare, you'll want to make them again and again.

Ingredients

24 raw shrimps medium size with shell.
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons of soya sauce
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 drops of Tabasco Sauce

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Peel the shrimps.
Thread shrimps onto appetizer size wooden skewers (depending on the length of the skewer you can put one or two shrimp per skewer).
Place shrimp skewers on a tin foil lined baking sheet.
Mix together remaining ingredients.
Brush shrimps on both sides with mixture.
Cook for 10 minutes (it's not necessary to turn the shrimps half way).
Makes 24 single skewers or 12 double skewers.


Enjoy!

    2. Anna's right, repace the shrimps with strips of chicken and adjust the cooking time.

  17. Shrimp on the barbie! Classic Aussie line. BBQ shrimp always brings out memories of summer for me, but it looks like you can make yours in the oven at any time of the year. Great marinade recipe -- I've also used a classic vinaigrette marinade on the grill, and had good luck with that. Thanks for sharing!
