Shrimp Skewers and Cold Soup
With just over a month left in the summer of 2002, we realized with
something of a jolt that we had yet to make this very summer-y meal. The
shrimp skewers are quite easy to prepare, yet are different from
other
shrimp
dishes,
which are typically sauteed. In addition to doing the summer/grilling
thing, we also enjoy gazpacho, which is about as summer as you can get.
