Grilled Shrimp, from Tara

And last but not least, this is by far, our favorite grilling recipe. Everyone that comes over always requests it.

1/2 cup diced onion
1 diced jalapeno pepper
3 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp. all spice
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1 lb. pre-cooked & cleaned (med 56-60) shrimp
Blend everything (Editor's note - except the shrimp!) in food processor until it is a consistent mixture and onion and pepper are finely diced. Pour over shrimp and cover completely. Let the shrimp marinate at least 45 minutes. This is enough for about a pound of medium shrimp. Skewer the shrimp & grill.

Grilling Ideas from Tara

Some of our favs are kabobs with either chicken or steak, bell peppers, onions & mushrooms. Corn on the cob is great on the grill...just peel back the husks & rip the hairs out, spread on some butter & seasoning salt or chili powder and fold the husks back on & throw on the grill. We like grilled salmon. Marinate some salmon filets in a marinade of soy sauce & brown sugar. Good ole' BBQ chicken is always great too. Asparagus is fabulous on the grill also!
