Preparation

Step 1

Place skewers in water to cover; let soak at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat or preheat broiler with rack 3 to 4 inches from source of heat.

In small microwave-safe bowl, combine apple jelly, brown sugar and liquid smoke; heat in microwave oven on high 1 minute or until melted.

Place skewers on hot grill rack or foil-lined broiler pan. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, or until shrimp start to turn pink. Brush apple jelly mixture on both sides of shrimp and cook 1 minute longer on each side or until shrimp turns opaque throughout and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
