I just love things that you can chop up, put in marinade and then serve when you are ready. This is a great recipe for getting your kids to eat veggies. They are also fun for entertaining because they are colorful and look good on the plate. Don't let the bourbon in the marinade fool you, it just makes for a rich taste, nothing too funky.
1/4 Cup vegetable oil
1/3 Cup honey
1/3 Cup soy sauce
1/3 Cup bourbon (it can be expensive and if you don't keep it on hand, buy a airplane size bottle at a liquor store)
chopped garlic (amount to taste)
fresh ground pepper.
Combine the marinade ingredients together. For the actual kabobs, I have only used this marinade with chicken, but it probably works well with shrimp as well. For the veggies, I use the following: red, green & yellow bell peppers, Vidalia (or other sweet, like Maui) onions, mushrooms and lemon quarters. Pick and choose what to put on the kabobs based on what your family will eat.
Marinade is good in a few hours, though better overnight.
It's one of those recipes that on paper may not seem overly flavorful, but in reality is very, very tasty!
Enjoy...
