Yummy Grilled Shrimp

We have a small, somewhat temperamental grill that we inherited from our neighbors.  In other words, they were going to take it to the dump, and we claimed it before it got on the truck.  Though it's seen better days, I get a lot of use from this little grill.  Recently, I made kabobs for the family, and they loved them.  Here's the recipe.


Grilled Jamaican Shrimp
Marinade:
2 T grated fresh ginger
2 cloves minced garlic
1 sliced lime, peel grated
1 T sugar
1/2 c. rum
1/2 c. orange juice concentrate

Mix marinade in a gallon-sized ziploc bag.  Add 1 1/2  pounds large cooked shrimp. Refrigerate for up to 2 hours to marinate.  Thread shrimp onto skewers.  (If using bamboo skewers, soak them for an hour before grilling.)  Grill shrimp, basting with the reserved marinade and turning them once, until just cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes.


Serve the shrimp with rice or as part of a salad.
