CUERVO MARINATED SHRIMP KABOBS

Steps:

• Preheat outdoor grill (or hot air balloon, if handy).
• To assemble, onto a skewer, first slide on a shrimp, followed by a red pepper, then another shrimp, then a slice of zucchini, followed by another piece of shrimp, and finish with the mushroom at the end. Repeat with the other seven skewers. Set aside until ready to cook.
• To make the marinade, put all ingredients except salt and pepper in a blender. Puree mixture for 1 to 2 minutes, or until jalapeno pieces are broken down. Season with salt and black pepper and blend for another 10 seconds. Strain marinade through cheesecloth or fine sieve. Pour marinade into a clean spray bottle.
• To cook, spray each kabob with marinade and place on grill. Be sure when spraying, to spray away from flame. You will need to spray each kabob twice more before the shrimp are completely cooked. Again be sure to spray away from flame.

SHRIMP TERIYAKI KABOBS

Steps:

• In a large zip-lock bag combine teriyaki sauce, onion, garlic, sugar, zest and a splash of pineapple juice from the chunks.
• Add shrimp and toss to coat.
• I let them set in the fridge all day till I was ready to skewer them to grill.
• Be sure and soak your skewers if you are using wood!
• Place a pineapple chuck in the curve of each shrimp and place on a skewer, going through the "head" of the shrimp, the pineapple and then the "tail".
• I was able to get about 4 on each skewer.
• Grill about 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp is pink.
• You can baste with the marinade if you want but I did not.
• You can also broil this if you don't have a grill.
• I removed from the skewers for my guests but would probably serve on skewers if I had fancy ones.
