Shrimp Cabrillo

Submitted by Jostlori

"This recipe is from a now-defunct San Diego landmark restaurant - Lubachs. It is easily adaptable, sometimes I add onions or make the sauce spicier. The recipe source is an old fundraising cookbook, La Jolla Cooks, from La Jolla Country Day School. Cooking time includes time to simmer sauce - which can overlap while putting together the skewers."
