From the kitchen of ABC Executive Chef Kyle Mason, we present this tasty and innovative dish you'll enjoy trying at home!

Ginger Beer Glazed Shrimp Skewers

Makes 12 Skewers (serves 6)

Ingredients:

A dozen 9" Bamboo skewers soaked in water

2lbs. White Shrimp, (fresh of frozen) 21/25 CT P&D Tail On

¼ Cup of Brown Sugar

12oz ABC Ginger Beer

2oz Soy Sauce

1 Chopped Scallion

1 Garlic Clove (chopped)

1 Tsp Sriracha sauce

Directions:

*If using frozen shrimp, allow time to properly thaw prior to cooking.

Place bamboo skewers into water and allow soaking for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent skewers from burning on grill. Rinse the shrimp under cold water to ensure they are clean. Using two pounds of shrimp, you should have around 48 shrimp. Make sure the shrimp is peeled of its shell and deveined. The tail can remain on or off if you prefer.

In a bowl combine 12oz of Appalachian Ginger Beer, 2oz of your favorite soy sauce, ¼ cup of brown sugar, 1 Tsp of Sriracha (you may add more if you like it spicier), 1 clove of freshly chopped garlic, and 1 scallion finely chopped. Mix contents of bowl until well blended. Next add your cleaned shrimp to the liquid and allow to marinate for at least 20-30 minutes. Once your shrimp and skewers are ready carefully slide 4 whole shrimp onto each skewer, save the remaining marinade. You should yield 12 total skewers.

Place your skewed shrimp on a preheat 400F grill and allow each side to cook for approximately 1-2 minutes. Brush the shrimp with the extra marinade as they cook for additional flavor.

Serve two Skewers per dish with your favorite back yard sides and enjoy!
