Grilling Season

I don't know about you but our family loves to Grill in the spring summer and fall and eat outdoors . Here are some great Grilling recipes and Ideas!

 

Kabob Barg — Persian-Style Steak Skewers

1 lb. filet mignon, cut into strips or cubes for skewers (I can get two Filets for about $6.00 at WalMart. They are small but oh so good!)
Juice of one medium onion
1/2-cup olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

 

Mix all ingredients in bowl and let sit for three-four hours. Thread beef on skewers and grill.

Spicy Grilled Shrimp

1.5 lb jumbo shrimp 16/20 count, peeled and deveined

Marinade:
3 tablespoons olive oil (45ml)
Juice and zest of 2 oranges
Juice and zest of 1 lime
1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes (5ml)
1 tablespoon sugar (15ml)

 

Place cleaned shrimp in a large sealable plastic bag.

In a separate bowl combine marinade ingredients. Pour over shrimp and toss to coat.

Allow shrimp to marinate for 15 minutes (no longer as the shrimp will begin to cook from the acid in the citrus fruits).

Preheat barbeque grill to 400°F/204°C or high heat.  Lightly oil the grill.

Remove shrimp from marinade and pat dry.  Place shrimp directly on grill.

Cook for 1 -1.5 minute per side or until pink and no longer transparent.

Yield: 6 servings
