Cane-Charred shrimp

Cane-Charred Marinade:

• 1 c. olive oil
• 1/4 c. cane syrup or dark corn syrup
• 1/2 c. white wine
• 3 shallots, chopped fine
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 tsp. Tabasco sauce
• 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• 1 lb. large shrimp (16 to 20 per lb.)
• 4 large sprigs rosemary, soaked in oil
• 1 bunch arugula, cleaned and trimmed
• lemon slices for garnish

Combine the oil, cane syrup, wine, shallot, lemon juice, Tabasco, rosemary, and thyme in a shallow dish.

Thread the shrimp onto the rosemary sprigs and marinate for 15 to 20 minutes in the mixture.

Remove the sprig skewers and place them on the grill until the shrimp are lightly charred, about 2 minutes.

Move them to medium heat to finish cooking, about 4 to 8 minutes.

Arrange the skewers on the arugula and garnish with the lemon slices.
