Grilled Shrimp with Asparagus Kebabs

Got a request for my grilled shrimp and if you haven’t made this yes today’s a good day to give it a try!

You’ll need: 

• Large cleaned shrimp tails left on.
  
• Wooden skewers soaked in water. 2 shrimp per kebab.
  
• Asparagus cut into 1″ pieces use 2-3 per kebab
  
• Fresh basil 1 chopped leaf for every 2 shrimp
  
• Extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup for every 10 shrimp
  
• 1 tbs fresh squeezed lemon juice for every 10 shrimp
  
• 2 minced garlic cloves for every 10 shrimp
  
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes for every 20 shrimp (optional)

Directions:

1. Place all the ingredients (not the skewer sticks) into a large zip plastic bag remove as much air as possible, shake to mix the marinade and place in the fridge for 1 hour
2. Prepare the kebabs and save the marinade to brush on while grilling
3. These are going to cook pretty quickly a couple minutes on each side, you just need to be careful not to over cook them as they will be tough
4. Grill the kebabs on a outdoor grill or on a grill pan on your stove
5. Serve with some lemon wedges
