Spicy Thai Shrimp Skewers

A bag of frozen shrimp is a staple for me. They are relatively inexpensive, delicious and so quick. Pull a handful out of the freezer, throw them in a bowl of cold water and they'll thaw while you change from your work clothes to your sweats. Use them in a pasta sauce or as an appetizer or a late night snack.

I used this recipe as an appetizer for a Thai themed meal I served.
3 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp curry powder
1 pound shrimp - peeled and deveined, but with the tail on.

I marinated them while they thawed, then threaded them on skewers. I baked them at 375F for about 10 minutes, but you could grill or fry them.

Delicious on Naan bread!
