Lighter side of grilling....

This weekend I celebrated the birthdays of two good friends.  The weather last week was so hot, I wanted something nice but not heavy.  A couple of weeks ago I had seen this recipe on Hungry Girl and as usual added my own twist to it, needless to say, it was defintiely a hit!

Serves 4

1 lb of medium uncooked shrimp (41-60 count)
2 5 oz. pieces of salmon
1 zucchini, sliced into wedges
3 TBS of lemon olive oil
1 TBS of Old Bay Seasoning
2 TBS of Vidalia Onion barbecue sauce
8 skewers, which have been soaked in water for at least a 1/2 hr

  1. Clean shrimp by removing tails and shells.  Toss into mixing bowl.
  2. Cut salmon into small chunks and toss into bowl with shrimp
  3. Add sliced zucchini to bowl
  4. Mix olive oil, and old bay seasoning together and pour over shrimp, salmon and zucchini.
  5. Place fish and zucchini on soaked skewers, alternating, shrimp, salmon and zucchini.
  6. Put skewers on heated grill and brush with vidalia onion barbecue sauce, flip skewers after 4-5 minutes, brush this side of skewers with barbecue sacue, cook until shrimp and salmon are pink. (another 4 minutes)

  1. If only Matt would eat shrimp or salmon - he'll order it while out to eat, but not for at-home cooking. This looks good & easy!
