Spicy Passion Fruit-Glazed Shrimp image

Passion fruit gives the glaze a sweet-and-sour taste. Serve these kebabs over a bed of basmati or jasmine rice. When straining the glaze, press with the back of a spoon to extract as much passion fruit pulp as possible. Add a green salad and you have a perfect summer meal. From the June, 2005 Cooking Light.
