Thai Basil Shrimp Skewers

Serving Size: 4-5 medium to large pcs. of shrimp per skewer (use bamboo) and 2 skewers per person.

INGREDIENTS:
Shrimp, peeled, deveined
Thai Basil, clean, dry and chopped (amount to your taste)
salt and pepper to your taste
cayenne pepper (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Put 4-5 peceices of shrimp per skewer.
2. Sprinkle chopped basil and seasonings over both sides of shrimp.
3. I use my indoor grill. First, I plug it in and make sure it's very hot (smoking). Then I spray a little cooking oil before grilling shrimp. Each side takes 2-3 minutes or just until shrimp turns pink.

NOTE:
* Use basil and mint if you can't find Thai Basil
* This cooks very fast so cook your sides first!
