Description

Shrimp are marinated in a fruity, tangy, pomegranate-orange juice blend before they're grilled in this easy recipe, providing a nice flavor change without being overpowering.

Ingredients

1 cup pomegranate juice (such as POM® Wonderful)
1/3 cup orange juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Directions

1 Combine pomegranate juice, orange juice, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; mix marinade until well combined.
2 Place shrimp into a zip-top bag or deep glass bowl. Pour marinade over shrimp and stir well to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 45 minutes.
3 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
4 Thread shrimp onto metal skewers and discard marinade.
5 Cook on the preheated grill until shrimp are pink and slightly curled, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and serve.
