Cooking Notes
The recipe is easily doubled or tripled.
If using wooden skewers, soak in water first for 15 minutes to avoid burning.
Grilled Shrimp Dijon
1 pound large raw shrimp, preferably already peeled
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Preheat the gas grill to medium-high, about 400 degrees F. (Or use charcoal.)
Peel and devein the shrimp, if necessary. Secure the shrimp on metal skewers* by piercing them twice, first through the tail section and then through the body, forming a C shape.
Place butter in a 2-cup glass measure or bowl and microwave, uncovered on high, until almost melted, about 30 seconds. Whisk in mustard, blending well. Brush both sides of shrimp with sauce. Brush grill grates with vegetable oil or spray with nonstick grill spray. Grill until just pink on the first side, about 2 minutes. Turn and grill just until shrimp turn pink throughout, about 2 minutes. Serve at once.

What you're saying..
We tried your Mindless Mu Shu Chicken last week and loved it! We're doing it again this coming Friday, we decided we needed to see if it was as good as we remembered. Before that we thoroughly enjoyed your Veggie Bean Medley over Couscous. But your Cookies and Cream Trifle is our all time favorite! Every time I take it somewhere, someone always asks for the recipe. Of course I give you the credit!
