Lemon Grilled Shrimp

Lemon Grilled Shrimp
from Canadian Living BBQ & Summer Living Cookbook

The kids did not like shrimp when they were young, but as they moved into adulthood - they all developed a taste for it! You can serve this as an appetizer or make more skewers and serve with rice and asparagus as a main course.

24 large shrimp (peeled and deveined but with tails on)
½ cup lemon juice
½ cup vegetable oil
1 TBSP chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp grated lemon rind
2 tsp dry mustard
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
pinch of black pepper
Place shrimp in sturdy plastic bag, set in a bowl.
Stir together lemon juice, oil, parsley, garlic, lemon rind, mustard, cayenne and black pepper. Pour over shrimp.
Close bag tightly; squeeze gently to coat shrimp well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove shrimp, reserve marinade.
Thread each shrimp onto soaked wooden skewer, pushing skewer through shrimp near each end but leaving centre free.
Cook shrimp on greased grill over medium hot coals or on medium setting, brushing often with marinade for 2 minutes per side.
Makes 8 appetizer servings.
