ingredients

1 package McCormick Grill Mates baja citrus marinade
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
5 cups assorted fresh vegetable pieces, such as yellow squash, zucchini and red bell pepper

directions

Mix marinade mix, oil, water and vinegar in small bowl. Place shrimp and vegetables in 2 separate resealable plastic bags. Pour half of the marinade into each bag; turn to coat well.

Refrigerate 15 minutes. Remove shrimp and vegetables from marinade. Discard shrimp marinade; reserve vegetable marinade. Alternately thread shrimp and vegetables onto skewers.

Grill over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning frequently and basting with reserved vegetable marinade.

Test Kitchen Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak thoroughly in water for at least 30 minutes before threading with shrimp and vegetables. This prevents them from burning when on the grill.

Notes: Grill Mates Baja Citrus Marinade flavors shrimp and vegetable kabobs with citrus, chili peppers and cilantro.
