As summer draws to a close, Labor Day is the final curtain call of our barbecue extravaganza.  End the season with a bang with the Sizzling Summer Series and Tropical Island Shrimp Kabobs.  Featuring a sweet coconut milk and lime marinade, rich mango, and fresh pineapple, these shrimp kabobs take you to an island paradise with the first bite. Suitable as an appetizer or entrée, these short skewers are beautiful and full of flavor.

With seafood freshness is paramount, so begin with fresh uncooked shrimp already peeled and deveined. Prepare the marinade by combining coconut milk, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, coriander, salt, and pepper. Let the shrimp marinate refrigerated for 2 hours.  Assemble each skewer with one shrimp, one mango cube, and one pineapple cube, and grill over medium heat a couple minutes per side till the shrimp turn pink.  The island flavors explode in every bite, the freshness of the lime juice adds a refreshing profile to shrimp that complements the fresh fruit.  So, even if you can’t get to the tropical island paradise, we can take you there with the Sizzling Summer Series from Summerset.
