Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

Marinade:
Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl. Pour into a ziplock bag.

Kebab:
Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes.

Place shrimp in ziplock bag with marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove shrimp from marinade and reserve marinade to use for basting.
Thread 1 mushroom, 1 shrimp, 1 sausage piece, 1 tomato and 1 pepper chunk on to a skewer. Repeat until skewer is filled. Continue with remaining skewers. Place on a platter and baste with reserved marinade.

Grill, basting occasionally, for 4 minutes. Turn skewers. Grill another 4 minutes or until shrimp is cooked through.
