Ingredients

Shrimp Kabobs

  • 4 navel oranges
  • 1 pound uncooked peeled deveined large shrimp, thawed if frozen
  • 1 small red onion, cut in half
  • 1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach

Orange Marinade and Dressing

  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup light sesame or olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 medium green onions, chopped (1/4 cup)

Steps

  • 1
    Cut 2 of the oranges into 8 wedges each. Peel and section remaining 2 oranges; reserve sections. Mix all Orange Marinade and Dressing ingredients; reserve half for dressing. In shallow glass or plastic dish or heavy-duty resealable food-storage plastic bag, place shrimp and remaining marinade. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate 15 minutes.
  • 2
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Cut one onion half into wedges; separate into pieces. Thinly slice remaining onion half; separate into pieces and set aside. Remove shrimp from marinade; reserve marinade for basting. Thread shrimp, orange wedges and onion wedges alternately on each of eight 8-inch or four 15-inch metal skewers, leaving space between each piece.
  • 3
    Grill kabobs uncovered 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, turning frequently and brushing with reserved basting marinade, until shrimp are pink and firm. Discard any remaining basting marinade.
  • 4
    In large bowl, gently toss spinach, reserved orange sections, reserved thinly sliced onion and reserved dressing. Serve with kabobs.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use a small sharp knife to peel the orange, starting at the top; be sure to remove all the white pith from the fruit. To section an orange, gently slice on both sides of the orange section membrane.
  • tip 2
    The shrimp, orange wedges and onion wedges can be grilled in a grill basket instead of on skewers.
  • tip 3
    The Orange Marinade and Dressing can be prepared one day ahead; cover and refrigerate.
