Seafood and Vegetable Kabobs with a Citrus BBQ Sauce

Created by Kchurchill5 on October 24, 2011

SHRIMP AND VEGETABLES
1 pound fresh shrimp (or seafood, I prefer shrimp or scallops; shrimp is peeled and deveined)
2 cups mixed vegetables (cut in bite size pieces)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons oil (olive oil)
2 scallions, fine diced (white and green parts), as a garnish
BARBECUE SAUCE

1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce (plain BBQ sauce, I use a generic blend from my local grocery store)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, fine minced (small onion)
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon dried ginger
Red pepper flakes (pinch)

Step 1: BBQ Sauce ... Add all the ingredients to a small sauce pan and heat to medium high. Bring to a light boil and then reduce to a simmer, cook 5 minutes and turn off the heat. Add to a small bowl or container until ready to use. This makes a bit more than you need, so just refrigerate the extra - it will last about 1 week in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Seafood and Vegetables ... Remove the seafood and vegetables from the refrigerator to take the chill off. Skewer the seafood and vegetables any way you want - there is no right or wrong. Brush the skewers with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Grill ... Add the skewers to a medium heat grill and brush immediately with the BBQ sauce. Rotate often and brush with the BBQ sauce. It will take around 10-15 minutes depending on what type of seafood and vegetables you are using. It cooks quick, so keep an eye on them. NOTE: These could also be broiled. Obviously it is best on a grill (inside or outside), but they can be broiled.
Step 4: Serve ... White rice is perfect on the side and maybe some fruit. Garnish the kabobs with the scallions and ENJOY!
