For the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the shrimp and marinate for about 3 hours. (Note the recipe states to marinate at room temperature, but I would not leave it out for that amount of time. The safest thing to do is to marinate in the refrigerator.)
When the marinating time is over, make the vegetable saute. In a saute pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the vegetables and garlic; saute for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Add the balsamic vinegar and continue cooking for 1 minute more.
To make the citrus vinaigrette, combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk to dissolve the honey.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and grill or broil for 2 minutes on each side.
Divide the sauteed vegetables among 6 salad plates, put 3 shrimp on top of each, and pour on the citrus vinaigrette.
Grilled Lamb Chops Yield: 4 Servings 1 c red current jelly 1 rack of lamb 1/2 c butter 2 T rosemary (crushed) 1 c poupon mustard 1 c white wine 1/2 c shallots (minced)
Mix jelly and mustard in saucepan and simmer on stovetop for 5 minutes to melt jelly. Remove lamb chops from rach and French cut, being careful not to remove the fat from the eye (the fat will protect the meat from burning on the grill). Allow sauce to cool completely. Submerge lamb chops in sauceand allow to marinade overnight (place in refrigerator). Grill over Hickorycoals 4 to 5 minutes (for medium to medium-rare), basting with sauce as it cooks. Turn once half-way through cooking time. Prepare garnish sauce by browning shallots in butter and stirring in the white wine and rosemary. Serve lamb with garnish sauce and grilled potatoes and vegtables. NOTE: Themarinade sauce also goes well with other foods including mushrooms.
