Cranking up the Spice: Shrimp Skewers

This past week I just came back from Family Camp & what a wonderful time I had! The Lord taught me many valuable lessons in patience that by His grace, has helped mold me into a better believer. To Him be ALL honor and glory. Another awesome thing was the FOOD and one of the sisters working in the kitchen made Jamaican cuisine which inspired me to come home and make some reeeeeal spicy food so here it is shrimp on skewers with peppers & onions marinading in a Mojo Sauce (provided by Wegmans) sprinkled with spicy red-pepper flakes accompanied by an Orange Marmalade dipping sauce. OH the combination of sweet- spicy-salty. (AH! I feel like the  mouse on Ratatouille & his fireworks of flavor going off in his head). Below is the recipe:



Yields: ~ 10 Skewers

1 lb Shrimp
1C Mojo Marinade (Wegmans)
1 Red Pepper, cut into 1" squares
1 Green Pepper, cut into 1" squares
1 Orange Pepper, cut into 1" squares
1 Large Onion, cut into 1" squares  
Red-pepper flakes (optional to your level of spicy intensity)
1 C Orange Marmalade

1. Let shrimp, peppers & onions marinade in mojo sauce after they all have been prepped (~2 hours)
2. Skew on your shrimp, peppers & onions to desired amounts being sure to leave a reasonable distance between each pieces to allow consistent cooking
3. Sprinkle red-pepper flakes to desired level of spice
4. Place skewers on the grill on lowest setting ~10 minutes or until shrimp are visibly pink
5. In the meantime, heat up orange marmalade
6. EAT :)
