Shrimp Skewers
8 wooden or metal skewers
1 pound asparagus
1 medium sweet red pepper
1 pound large shrimp (31 to 40 count)
1 package
Simply Organic Sweet Basil Pesto Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat broiler on high. Trim asparagus to 3 inches in order to just use tips. Slice red pepper in 1-inch by 1/2-inch sections. Start by placing an asparagus tip on skewer, then a shrimp dusted in the Basil Pesto Mix, then a slice of red pepper. Repeat pattern on each skewer four times.
Take a 1-to 2-inch deep casserole dish and place the skewers across the dish. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with any remaining seasoning mix. Broil 4 to 7 minutes. Place on serving tray and cover liberally with shredded Parmesan cheese. Add a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
Skewers may also be cooked on the grill. Serve as appetizers or as one of your choices for a tapas party.
