Citrus Marinated Shrimp

For the Marinade:
Juice of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 orange
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp each Salt & pepper
1 clove garlic, minced fine
1/4 tsp each ground cumin, dried basil & dried parsely

15 to 20 shrimp with tails still on
1 zip-top bag
5 to 10 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Combine the marinade ingredients in a 4 cup measuring cup and whisk until well blended.
Put the shrimp in a zip-top bag and carefully pour the marinade in the bag with the shrimp. Get as much air out of the bag as you can, and seal it well. Mush around the marinade to coat the shrimp completely. Place the bag in a glass container or on a plate and place in the fridge for up to 8 hours.
Put about 5 shrimp on each skewer. Cook the shrimp for about 1 minute per side on a grill, griddle, or flat pan.
Serve immediately.

*This is a great summery dish. The citrus flavors really come through and almost "cook" the shrimp while it's marinating. If you wish, you can use the remaining marinade as a sauce, just make sure to bring it to a boil first to kill the bacteria. Shrimp is great to have as a treat every now and again. We always have a big bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer and just pull out whatever we need, whenever we need it. You don't really need to put these shrimp on skewers if you don't want to, but it just makes for easier turning and handling. Try it! You'll love it!

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. Phillipians 3:20
