Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Servings: 4 or 16 skewers

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. 6 oz. fresh blackberries
  • 1 fresh mango, peeled, cut in 1/2-inch thick wedges or chunks
  • 12 ounces raw, peeled and deveined shrimp about 26 count size
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. natural rice vinegar if using seasoned, omit brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  • Preheat a gas grill or broiler to high heat.
  • Thread blackberries, mango and shrimp alternately on wood or thin metal skewers.
  • Combine remaining ingredients to make a glaze. Brush onto prepared skewers, coating all sides of ingredients.
  • Grill or broil skewers 2-3 minutes per side, carefully sliding spatula under berries when turning. Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

To prevent sticking, be sure grill is fully preheated before placing skewers on grids. Some recipes suggest  coating grids with cooking spray before heating to reduce sticking — I prefer not to do that. Just start with a well-scraped and preheated hot grill.
