- Cook Time: 8 minutes
- 1 package McCormick® Grill Mates® Baja Citrus Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 5 cups assorted fresh vegetable pieces, such as yellow squash, zucchini and red bell pepper
1. Mix Marinade Mix, oil, vinegar and water in small bowl. Place shrimp and vegetables in 2 separate large resealable plastic bags. Pour half of the marinade into each bag; turn to coat well.
2. Refrigerate 15 minutes. Remove shrimp and vegetables from marinade. Discard shrimp marinade; reserve vegetable marinade. Alternately thread shrimp and vegetables onto skewers.
3. Grill over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning frequently and basting with reserved vegetable marinade.
Test Kitchen Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak thoroughly in water for at least 30 minutes before threading with shrimp and vegetables. This prevents them from burning when on the grill.
