Fall = Apples. After picking 10 pounds of Enterprise apples at a local orchard last weekend, I thought that shrimp and apples sounded like a good combination for a meal – and it was!
Marinating the apples and shrimp together then grilling on skewers was easy and a nice change of pace for dinner. I’m always game for trying something new. The shrimp and apple flavor together was so good. I served with a cucumber, tomato & pepper salad and some hot buttered sourdough bread. Hope you like this one!
