Tonight's Dinner: Grilled hoisin shrimp kabobs recipe

Shrimp is that shellfish that seems to go well with anything. You can add it to risotto for a little protein. You can add them to soup to make it a heartier meal. You can add them to a salad when you want something instead of chicken or you can eat them on their own. While I love adding shrimp to a salad or risotto, I also adore eating them all by themselves. One of my favorites choices is "peel & eat shrimp." But I also like to peel them and douse them in sauce before I cook them. These hoisin shrimp kabobs take such a minimal amount of time, they're the perfect choice on those busy, "I-just-don't-have-time-to-cook" nights.
