Baja Citrus Marinated Shrimp & Vegetable Kabobs

Thanks Erin for the tip on the McCormick's marinades! They were buy one, get one free!! I made this recipe last week, and the shrimp and vegetables had so much flavor. If you don't like shrimp, have chicken instead! I had yellow squash and zucchini on mine!


Prep Time: 15 minutes
Marinate: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes

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:
1. 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.

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

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