"Got this easy to make recipe from www.marthastewart.com and my family fell in LOVE with it! All kids ages 3-16 enjoyed this tasty shrimp marinade. Grilling jicama brings out its natural sweetness, but don't overcook it or it will lose it's crunch! (Prep time includes marinade time)"

ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
¹⁄₃ cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
¹⁄₂ cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 garlic cloves, crushed
¹⁄₂ jalapeno chile, coarsely chopped
¹⁄₂ teaspoon coarse salt
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails intact)

directions

For the kebabs: Puree oil, lime zest and juice, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, and salt in a blender or food processor. Combine marinade and shrimp. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 or 4 seconds.) Thread shrimp onto 6 skewers. Discard marinade. Thread jicama onto 6 more skewers. Grill shrimp until opaque and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill jicama for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.
