This is a great summertime picnic food. It's a great dish that will have folks begging for the recipe. These kabobs were perfected for picnics at outdoor concerts in Ravinia Park just outside Chicago. They were a hit, especially when paired with a chilled Pinot Grigio.

Ingredients

16 jumbo shrimp raw, shelled and deveined
2 lbs. frozen roasted sweet potatoes
1 sprig rosemary leaves
1/2 C. olive oil, divided
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp. paprika or chili powder
salt and pepper
8 kabob skewers, soaked in water and cut in half

Directions

Thaw sweet potatoes to room temperature (enough to easily push skewer through). Marinate shrimp in 1/4 C. olive oil, lemon juice and 1/2 tsp. paprika for 15-20 minutes. Arrange the skewers with a sweet potato-shrimp-sweet potato pattern, brush with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper. Grill skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp is pink and cooked through. These can be served hot or cold.
