Habanero Shrimp & Veggie Skewers
Ingredients:1 pkg cocktail shrimp (about 41-50 count)2 red onions, quarteredgrape tomatoes2 red bell peppers, quartered2 zucchini, chopped2 tbsp El Yucateco habanero hot sauce1 tbsp olive oilsalt and pepper to tasteskewers
In a bowl, combine shrimp, 2 tbsp hot sauce, salt and pepper. Let marinate (anywhere from 10-20 minutes)
Soak skewers in water. This helps the skewers maintain their shape and not burn while grilling.
Turn on grill (gas) or add charcoal to grill. Coat all veggies with olive oil and salt and pepper. Assemble skewers.
Add skewers to grill. Grill for about 5 minutes on one side. Flip. Grill for another 5 minutes. Remove from grill and serve!
I take these skewers to all our tailgates, especially when we want something different than burgers. We watch a lot of football in our home so I have had to get creative with recipes over the years! We're Cuban so we like lots of flavor in our foods. More flavor = amazing taste!!
El Yucateco hot sauce is available at your local Walmart in the ethnic foods section.
We are ready for NFL kickoff on Sunday! What about you? How do you add a little flavor kick to your favorite tailgate recipes?
