Grilled Shrimp Sticks

Fire up the grill for these grilled shrimp sticks. Try them with a warm apricot dipping sauce.

1 lb uncooked peeled and deveined shrimp
¼ cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
½ cup breadcrumbs (seasoned is best)
½ lemon
salt & pepper to taste

Rinse shrimp and pat dry. Combine garlic and olive oil. Place shrimp in a bowl and add the garlic and olive oil mixture. Add the breadcrumbs and toss to evenly coat the shrimp.

Thread the shrimp onto skewers. Grill over medium heat for approx. 2 minutes per side, or until they are opaque in the center and crumb coating starts to brown.

When they are done, serve on a platter. Squeeze lemon juice over shrimp and salt & pepper to taste.

Note: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water while preparing the shrimp. It prevents them from burning.
