Cajun Grilled Shrimp

By avpeters

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup dry red wine
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely minced
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 1/2 tablespoon paprika
• 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 2 pounds large shrimp
• Skewers or use foil to line grill

Preparation

Step 1

Put marinade ingredients in a large, glass bowl (or a zip lock bag) and whisk until well blended. Add shrimp and marinate at least 10 minutes but NO more than 30 minutes.

Drain marinade into a medium size saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 3-4 minutes. Thread the shrimp on the skewers or lay them on the foil covered grill (or in the broiler). Grill about 2 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and are pink and opaque in the center. To broil, broil 4-6 inches from the heat source until cooked through. Serve with the hot marinade as a dipping sauce.
