Steps:

- Put both oils in resealable plastic bag; add shrimp and toss to coat them with oil.
- Add bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, basil, salt and pepper.
- Toss shrimp to give them a coating of dry mixture.
- (You're wondering how the breading is going to stay adhered to the shrimp, right? Fear not- that's what the next step accomplishes).

- (Do not skip this step).
- Thread shrimp on wet skewers.
- Grill on HOT grill for 2 minutes per side or until golden.

GRILLED SHRIMP KABOBS
These are very easy to make and great as an appetizer or served with salad or a rice dish for a backyard BBQ! I like to add Essence or Creole Seasoning and Poblano or Jalapeno Pepper to the skewers to give them a little extra Zing!
