From twbart72@usipp.net Fri May 13 16:01:23 2005 Date: Fri, 13 May 2005 12:40:56 +0000 (UTC) From: T & J Bartimus Newsgroups: rec.food.recipes Subject: Barbequed Seafood Skewers Followup-To: rec.food.cooking, rec.food.recipes Barbequed Seafood Skewers- memorial Day Several branches rosemary, allowed to dry overnight 36 plain wooden toothpicks, soaked in water at least 30 minutes. 12 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes 18 fresh medium shrimp 18 fresh sea scallops 18 very thin lemon slices 18 very thin lime slices 24 crimini mushrooms 12 cherry tomatoes Olive oil Start the charcoal fire and lay the rosemary branches on it. Soak the skewers and toothpicks in cool water for at least 30 minutes. Use them to attach a lime slice to each scallop and a lemon slice to each shrimp. On 6 of the skewers, thread 1 shrimp, 1 mushroom, 1 scallop, 1 mushroom, 1 shrimp and 1 tomato. On the other 6, thread 1 scallop, 1 mushroom, 1 shrimp, 1 mushroom, 1 scallop and 1 tomato. Brush generously with the oil. When the coals are ready, lay the skewers on the grill and cook 1 minute. Turn and cook the other side for a minute or two, until done. Do not mash at them or fuss with them while they are cooking! The cooking time will make the lemon and lime skins quite edible and very tasty. Serves 6 as a starter, 4 as a main dish.
