A(nother) Recipe a Day- Grilled Shrimp and Apple Skewers

I am usually one of the first to tell someone to try grilling fruit. For some reason, however, grilling apples just doesn't sound very good to me. And especially not with this combination of flavors.

I like to layer flavors, so if I made this I would use fruits, vinegars, etc. that "match". For example, if I did use apples I think this would be better served with an apple jelly rather than strawberry. If I did use strawberry jam, I would use a berry vinegar to tie it together.

How about using pureed pineapple in the marinade and grilling some fresh slices of pineapple alongside, and baste with the shrimp marinade?

Somebody say skrimps? These would make a delightful little appetizer. Now, can I have a couple dozen while we're waiting for the real grub?

You can have my share.

Sounds great. Thanks for sharing.
I was actually thinking it sounded good but that I might use a Rice Vinegar instead. I actually love grilling apples and though it sounds odd with shrimp, I think I would love it.

That sounds good and something different.

I was glad to read your first sentences, because my gut feeling with the title was "yuck."

Well Julie, if you made it, I would try it!

Thanks all!

hat sounds absolutely delicious!!
I have to say, the grilled shrimp is wonderful, we enjoy that here as often as we can.........grilled apples, I have my doubts.

Picture of the grilled shrimp looks good ... recipe has too many different things going on ... at least for my taste!

Marianne, have you ever noticed that the photos don't match the recipes on that site? What's up with that?

Thank you for posting this to Gather Recipe Review! I like your ideas Shannon! Makes more sense to me that way.
