Citrus Basil Shrimp Kebabs Recipe

Chicken is our familys go-to protein quite often, but shrimp are a close second (and for me, really a tie). Besides being delicious and infinitely adaptable, they cook really quickly, and when its hot out (or more than hot, when it feels like you have crawled into the mouth of some prehistoric reptile), or you're rushing to get dinner on the table (always), that is a substantial added-value. These are so fast, so simple, and so fresh tasting. And you should keep this marinade in mind for chicken as well. Try other herbs in place of the basil, like oregano or tarragon or chives (you can also give them a sprinkle of fresh herbs at the end). Serve with simple sauteed spring greens in the spring, or sauteed kale and brussels sprouts with bacon in the fall. You can use a smaller sized shrimp, but the jumbo certainly make a nice presentation.
