GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add orange concentrate and brown sugar.

• If using wooden skewers, first soak in water 30 minutes, then drain (to prevent burning). Lay 6 shrimp side by side; slide a skewer through head ends to secure together. Thread a second skewer through tail ends. Spread shrimp slightly so there are small gaps between them. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

Brush with more glaze, turning a few times to caramelize, until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from grill and brush with some of reserved glaze. Serve over grilled bread, with remaining reserved glaze on the side.
