Just wanted to share a super easy and DELICIOUS recipe for grilling. I did this this at a survivor/grill show and it came out amazing.

Brush uncooked shrimp with the basil oil and then rub them with the basil citrus rub. Grill using the skewers (or directly on the grill).

Products used: silicone brush, basil oil, prep bowl (for oil), citrus-basil rub, skewers, and assorted grill tools.
 
Yummm...we have tons of shrimp in the freezer - I am going to make this for DH one of these days...and with some coconut rice in the micro rice cooker!! We could turn this into a demo -- for the rice...use Easy Reads, mix & scrapers...u could squeeze a lime with the citrus press into the marinade...yummmmm
 
ok, now I'm hungry!
 
What is coconut rice? It sounds yummy! You could also do butter mixed with freshly pressed garlic on the shrimp.
 
who's cooking, Im comming over for dinner sounds really good. I'll bring the Salad Spinner !!!

Thanks Carolyn.

Where in South Florida are you? I lived in WPB/Jupiter area several years ago. I miss the area (but not the traffic...especially in winter!).
