These have an oriental flair! Serve over a bed of shredded lettuce that has slivered almonds and small orange slices in it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Need a quick and easy meal? Give these shrimp kabobs a try. The hardest part is waiting for the shrimp to marinate for an hour. After that, you'll have dinner on the table in 10 minutes. Once grilled, the shrimp are sweet and tangy with a slightly smoky taste. Full of flavor, we love how easy this was to throw together.

Ingredients For shrimp kabobs

  • 1 can
    tomato soup (10.75 oz)
  • 1/4 c
    orange juice
  • 1 Tbsp
    soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp
    vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tsp
    ground ginger
  • 1 Tbsp
    brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 lb

How To Make shrimp kabobs

  • Soup, orange juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, ginger, and brown sugar in a container.
    1
    Mix soup, orange juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, ginger, and brown sugar in a shallow, NON-metallic dish. Mix well.
  • Shrimp added to the container.
    2
    Add shrimp, stir to coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, stirring intermittently.
  • Marinated shrimp on skewrers.
    3
    Remove shrimp from marinade. Thread shrimp onto long skewers (I use two skewers each, so they will not 'twirl' around when trying to turn them on the grill. Instead of just one skewer going up the middle of each shrimp, I put a skewer at the head-end, a skewer at the tail end, and then slide 4 or 5 more shrimp onto those two skewers in like-fashion ... it anchors them better. Repeat this for each kabob).
  • Shrimp kabobs on a grill.
    4
    Place kabobs on lightly-oiled grill rack over medium coals.
  • Brushing shrimp with marinade.
    5
    Grill, uncovered, for 10 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink, turning and brushing often with the marinade.
  • Heating remaining marinade.
    6
    Heat the remaining marinade to a slight boil for several minutes and serve with the shrimp.

    VARIATION: Prepare as in steps 1 & 2. Instead of grilling in step 3, place kabobs on the rack in the broiler pan. Broil 4" from heat for 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning and brushing often with marinade. Proceed as in step 4.
