I love seafood! Shrimp, fish, lobster, squid(!)…you name it, if its seafood….I’m there! Now if it’s grilled, even BETTER!!

Here’s what y’all need to make these scrumptious Grilled Shrimp:

1/2 C of apricot preserves
1 tsp canola oil
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, crushed
1 lb. large shrimp, peeled, deveined and uncooked.

 And here’s how to make it:

Heat your grill to medium temperature.

Place the preserves in a small mixing bowl.

Whisk in the canola oil and soy sauce.

Fold the red pepper flakes into the mixture well.

Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers. Coat them lightly with cooking spray to make it easier to get them off the skewers.

Baste both sides of the shrimp well with the apricot mixture.

Place the shrimp on the grill and do not cover.

Grill 3 minutes, basting a couple of times.

Turn and continue grilling and basting for an additional 3 minutes or until the shrimps turn pink.

Makes about 6 servings

If grilling is just not possible, these shrimp can also be cooked under the broiler 4 inches from the heat source for about 3 minutes on each side.  They will turn pink when done!  Y’all can serve these over white rice. YUM!!

Hope y’all enjoy!

So how was Mother’s Day?? We ATE! A LOT!! We went to a little Mexican Restaurant here in Corona and I had some delicious carnitas. Gonna have to learn how to make those…any ideas? I would also love to learn how to make a pig in a pit! You know, like at a Luau. MMMMMM!!!!

One thing I do make a lot is Chile Verde Pork. It’s so EASY!! Just get a pork roast of any kind, bone in preferably, sear in on all sides and pop it in the crock pot, pour some chili verde sauce on top and cook for about 6 hours on high. When it’s falling off the bone and so tender, just shred it up and there ya go!! Make pork potato and cheese burritos (YUM!), taquitos, tacos or just some chili verde pork on a plate and add whatever you like…beans, rice or just good old fashioned tortillas (standing in the middle of the kitchen!)!!

MMMM!! Now I am making me hungry!
