Lemon Wine Marinated Grilled Shrimp & Vegetables



1 lb. jumbo shrimp
2 small onions
8 oz. fresh mushrooms
2 bell (red, yellow and/or green) peppers

Marinade/Brush
1 shallot, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 C dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

1. Mix the marinade ingredients together (a food processor makes this task take seconds). Reserve 1/3 cup marinade to brush on veggies as they grill, marinate shrimp in remaining marinade for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2. Thread shrimp and veggies on skewers (see note above). Grill skewers over a medium-hot fire, brushing shrimp and veggies with remaining marinade every 10 minutes or so during grilling. The shrimp will cook quickly, about 3-5 minutes per side. Veggies will take longer depending on their size and thickness, so plan your cooking so things come out more or less together (or else keep some ingredients warm while others finish grilling). Serve over rice or with pita bread.
