Cooking Tip

Double Skewers

You can purchase double skewers or you can run two skewers though each shrimp or prawn. Skewer the shrimp once and run a parallel skewer to hold the shrimp in place so that both sides are grilled equally.

Cooking Tip

Tomatillo Salsa

Saute 2 finely minced cloves of garlic and 1 large chopped white onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil until onion is translucent and soft. Add 2 cans chopped green chilies, 4 cans tomatillos, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 6 seeded and chopped jalapenos. Simmer 30 minutes.
