They are simple, yet special. At least I think they are because seafood is still considered a luxury in my book!!!
Add a great date, a warm summer evening, Pandora music playing Miss Ella Fitzgrald and a fun picnic spot...our is Pettygrove Lane {which is really not lane, but we renamed it because we liked it better than Pettygrove Street!!!!} and it will be just divine!
BBQ Shrimp Baguettes
1 cup Trader Joe's BBQ sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 baguettes
lettuce leaves
tomato slices
Special Sauce:
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
6 tablespoons BBQ sauce
Mix the two together and chill for a bit.
Directions:
*Mix BBQ sauce, garlic, spices and melted butter into a medium bowl. Add shrimp and let marinade for at least 30 minutes.
*Heat grill to medium-high and be sure to brush your grill or spray it with vegetable oil.
*Place shrimp on skewers and grill for a couple minutes until shrimp is firm.
*Once shrimp is cooked, remove the shrimp from the skewers and place in bowl.
*Cut each baguette into half.
*Brush, spread or SPOON special sauce onto each half and add shrimp,tomatoes and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Wrap in parchment paper and twine and dine the night away in style!
{I used the parchment paper that the seafood was wrapped in since the seafood was double wrapped!} Yes, we are from Oregon and we are all about recycling!!!
Happy Picnicking!

ReplyDeleteI found this on Stone Gable's On the Menu Monday. I have linked in a fried chicken dish that you don't want to look at if you are dieting! Have a nice week.
I am wondering where you get all your cool papers, bags and wrappings you use. I love that touch. Thanks!
