MARINADED SHRIMP APPETIZER:

 

2 lb. large shrimp                                            

½ cup each vegetable oil & lime or lemon juice                              

3 tbsp. dry white wine

1 tbsp. chopped chives                                   

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 to 1 ½ tsp. salt                                              

½ tsp. dried dill weed

hot pepper sauce, optional                                            

bamboo skewers

Wash, shell and de-vein shrimp. Wrap in paper towels and refrigerate for 1 hour. 

Place shrimp in shallow glass dish and add in oil, lime/lemon juice, chives, garlic, salt and dill weed to mix well. Season with several drops of hot pepper sauce if preferred. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours or overnight. Turn shrimp over in the marinade from time to time.

Remove shrimp, and reserve marinade. Soak bamboo skewers in hot water for a few minutes. Remove and dry them before threading shrimp through them, 2 to each skewer. 

Grill or BBQ shrimp over high heat until pink and cooked, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and brush with marinade one or twice during cooking.
