Two Great Recipes for Honey from the Farmers Market

Honey Grilled Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Italian-style salad dressing
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and divined with tails attached
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• skewers

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together garlic powder, black pepper, 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce, wine, and salad dressing; add shrimp, and toss to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.               
2. Preheat grill for high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard marinade.               
3. In a small bowl, stir together honey, melted butter, and remaining 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce. Set aside for basting.               
4. Lightly oil grill grate. Grill shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Baste occasionally with the honey-butter sauce while grilling.
