Skewered Shrimp and Blackberries with Sesame Ginger Marinade Recipe

Summer sizzles with these juicy blackberry skewers with a tangy ginger marinade. Thoroughly preheat the grill or broiler so the skewers cook quickly and the ingredients don't stick to the grates. A thin metal spatula works best for turning the skewers without crushing the berries.

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed with press or minced

Instructions

Preheat a gas grill or broiler to high heat.
Thread blackberries, mango and shrimp alternately on wooden skewers.
Combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, oil, ginger and garlic to make a thin glaze.
Brush onto prepared skewers, coating all sides.
Grill or broil skewers to3 minutes per side, carefully sliding spatula under berries when turning.
