Recipesfull introduces to you: Shrimp Recipes. (Grilled Shrimp Kabobs and Dipping Sauce Recipe). This recipe was inspired by my husband. He is Mexican so he has taught me to play with different flavors and ingredients, though the recipe idea came from a karaoke bar that served spicy shrimp one night. I thought this would be a perfect kabob recipe for indoor/outdoor entertaining. It is getting close to summer again and grilling is the best way to entertain this season.
