Grilled Shrimp Kabobs

"These are very easy to make and great as an appetizer or served with salad or a rice dish for a backyard BBQ! I like to add Essence or Creole Seasoning and Poblano or Jalapeno Pepper to the skewers to give them a little extra Zing!"

  • 1⁄4 cup Italian dressing (zesty or regular)
  • 1⁄4 cup white wine
  • 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions
