Shrimp kabobs Ingredients Shrimp: • ¼ cup olive oil • 1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced • 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated • Juice and zest of 1 lime • Salt and pepper • 2 pounds (16-20) shrimp, peeled and deveined • Nonstick spray • Bamboo skewers

Basil Sauce: • 1 cup basil leaves, packed • 1 clove garlic, minced • ¼ cup grapeseed oil • ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated • Salt and pepper

Directions

bryanashleyinc Kimpton Hotel Enso’s design has “echoes of Japanese sensibilities” combined with “West Coast cool.” Los Angeles-based Beleco Design developed a narrative with references to Japanese design elements and culture.

1. In a large bowl combine the olive oil, garlic, ginger, lime juice, zest, and salt and pepper. Add the shrimp, mix well, and permit to marinate for 30 minutes.

2. Soak skewers in hot water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high.

Thread 5-6 shrimp onto each skewer.

3. Make basil sauce. Place basil leaves, garlic and oil into a food processor and puree.

Add cheese, salt and pepper, and pulse to combine.

4. Spray the shrimp with a coating of nonstick spray and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until shrimp curl and turn opaque.

5. When ready to serve, top with a spoonful of the basil sauce and enjoy with your favorite summer side dish.
