Grilled Citrus Shrimp

What is more refreshing than citrus on shrimp?

• 2 pounds large shrimp
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced or pushed through a press
• 2 teaspoons prepared Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and freshly milled ground black pepper to taste

METHOD

Shell and devein shrimp. Rinse, pat dry and set aside.

Mix all remaining ingredients together in a food processor and blend until frothy. Put in a bowl with shrimp and marinate, refrigerated, for 1 - 2 hours. Halfway through the marinating process, mix shrimp well.

Thread shrimp on skewers without packing too tight which would prevent even grilling.

Spread foil over grilling rack. Puncture here and there to allow for draining. Cook shrimp for one minute, brush liberally with marinade and turn. Brush again.

Shrimp will cook in 3 - 5 minutes.

Serves: 3 - 4
