Rum and Mango Marinated Grilled Shrimp Kabobs
This exciting recipe really packs a flavor punch. Imagine the juiciness of hot grilled shrimp paired with a mango and rum marinade. The grilled shrimp kabobs also have grilled bell pepper and cherry tomatoes for added color and flavor. This shrimp appetizers recipe uses rosemary sprigs instead of wooden kabobs, which infuses the kabobs with flavor and looks good too.
If you prefer, you can substitute dry white wine for the mango juice and rum. This gives the kabobs a different flavor - less exotic but more classic. Do not marinate them for longer than twenty minutes because that is plenty of time to give the shrimp a good flavor without making them mushy.
There are various recipes for grilled shrimp kabobs but this one is especially good. The marinade is simple to make, the grilling process is easy, and everyone will love these wonderful shrimp appetizers. This is a great recipe for a fourth of July party or a summer garden party because you can be outside grilling while your guests are also outside. You will not want to be stuck in the kitchen on a nice summer day so this is the perfect appetizer recipe for such an occasion.
