While I Was Slacking

Since I failed to blog at all last week...

I thought I would go ahead and share the recipes from the meals I made

Monday night was our last small group and we all brought party/snack food

I decided to branch out from the typical pig in the blankets and make Kabobs

shrimp and sausage kabobs

ingredients:

1/2 cup lemon juice

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4cup soy sauce

3tbsp fresh parsley ( I just used the kind from the spice rack)

2tbsp chopped onion

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1clove garlic, minced

instructions:

mix all ingreients together. Marinate 2 to 3 hours. thread meat on wooden skewers. Broil 3-4 min on each side. Baste occasionally with reserved marinade

I only marinated the shrimp...not smoked sausage...and I only let it sit for about 30 min.

I brushed the marinade on the sausage, once on the skewer

Finished product!
