Jim Elser’s Spicy Skewered Shrimp

This recipe is a quick crowd pleaser and comes from our friend with Jim Elser at Sweet Smoke Q. With citrus oil slathered across skewered shrimp, its a refreshing plate perfect for a summer afternoon. Spice it up with Sizzle rub and your favorite spicy sauce if you want to bring the heat. Citrus and spice to make your BBQ taste nice!

Directions:

– Fire up the grill to 375.

– Skewer shrimp in a “lollipop” fashion.

– Juice a lime, lemon, and 1/2 an orange. Add olive oil while whisking to combine ingredients into a citrus oil. Add salt and pepper to the mixture.

– Brush the citrus oil onto the skewered shrimp. Dust Sizzle rub over each side once thoroughly brushed.

– Place shrimp skewers on the grill.

– When the shrimp begins to turn pink, slap some sauce onto either side.

– Finely chop one jalapeno with a small handful of cilantro while the shrimp cooks.

– Let the shrimp come to 140 internal. Be sure not to overcook the shrimp, or else the texture becomes rubbery.

– Place skewers on a bed of arugula, Juice any leftover lime on top, sprinkle with jalapeno, cilantro, and enjoy!
