Grilled Roasted Garlic Shrimp Skewers
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, de-veined and tails removed (about 40 shrimp)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup roasted garlic salad dressing
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Canola oil, for grilling
- One 5-ounce package baby arugula
- 2 plum tomatoes, diced
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Special equipment: 8 to 10-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- Thread the shrimp through the skewers at two points, through the neck and tail portion.
- If you compare the shape of the shrimp to the letter "C" the skewer should go through both the top and bottom section of the "C".
- You should have 5 shrimp per skewer.
- Place into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the roasted garlic salad dressing, lemon juice and Italian seasoning.
- Reserve about 3 tablespoons of the salad dressing mixture.
- Pour the remaining dressing over the shrimp and, using a brush, make sure all the shrimp are completely coated with the dressing.
- Let sit in the refrigerator for 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Brush the grill grates with a paper towel that has been soaked in canola oil.
- Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cover.
- Cook until opaque and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
- While the shrimp are grilling, combine the arugula and tomatoes in a large bowl.
- Pour the reserved dressing over the arugula, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- Divide among 4 plates.
- Place 2 of the shrimp skewers on each plate.
- Serve with a lemon wedge on the side.
