Summer is the perfect time for peaches, fresh from the tree. Combine the sweetness of the peach, the slightly bitter notes of the green tea and the savory flavor of grilled shrimp, and you have a winner for dinner!

Ingredients:
Super Spice Grill Blend
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons rosemary leaves, crushed
- 2 teaspoons thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
Grilled Shrimp With Green Tea & Peach Marinade
- 1 tablespoon Super Spice Grill Blend (above)
- 1/4 cup strong brewed green tea
- 2 tablespoons peach preserves
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 to 1-1/4 pounds uncooked shrimp
Preparation:
- Mix all marinade ingredients in small bowl until well blended. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for basting. Place shrimp in large re-sealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add remaining marinade; turn to coat well.
- Refrigerate 1 to 1-1/2 hours (the longer it marinates, the stronger the flavor will be). Remove shrimp from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Grill over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes per side or until the shrimp turn pink. Baste halfway through cook time with reserved marinade.
Not a fan of shrimp? Works great on chicken, too!
