Grilling some Jalapeno Peach Shrimp Skewers with Pompeian Grapeseed Oil #GrillWithPompeian

I’m a big fan of grapeseed oil. It has a light, clean taste, which means it’s a great oil to use in baking. Due to grapeseed oil’s high fluidity, it reduces excess oil from absorbing into food. This means a few less calories! In addition, it’s a good source of Vitamin E and antioxidants.
Grapeseed oil is perfect for all sorts of cooking from stir frying to sautéing. And due to it’s high smoke point, it’s a wonderful oil for deep frying and grilling. Since July is National Grilling Month, Pompeian, a leader in olive oils, is sharing simple tips and recipes to help you get a taste of the Mediterranean without leaving your backyard. For example, why not use Pompeian Grapeseed Oil instead of butter when sautéing fresh vegetables from the farmer’s market? Or try making your own marinades or salad dressings using Pompeian oils and fresh herbs from the garden? Healthier and way cheaper, too!
While you’re at the store, check out Pompeian OlivExtra Mediterranean Blend. The oil blend is a healthy combination of canola, extra virgin and grapeseed oil, which represent key components of the Mediterranean diet. The higher smoke point and unique flavor combination of this oil blend make it ideal for everything from salads to grilling marinades.

Makes 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (about 20) raw large shrimp, peeled, tails removed, deveined
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (not packed)
- 2 tablespoon chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
- 2 cups canned peach slices packed in juice, drained and blotted dry
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Pompeian White Wine Vinegar
- 2 tablespoon Pompeian Grapeseed Oil
Directions:
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning. (You'll need four.)
To make the sauce, place 1/2 cup drained peach slices in a small food processor or blender. Add all ingredients except shrimp and remaining peach slices. Puree until smooth. Transfer half of the sauce to a small bowl, and refrigerate until ready to serve (for dipping).
Bring grill to medium-high heat.
Evenly thread shrimp and remaining peach slices onto 4 skewers. Brush both sides with some of the remaining sauce. Grill until shrimp are cooked through, 1 - 2 minutes per side, brushing with remaining sauce as they cook.
Serve with the refrigerated sauce for dipping!
