Re: Cooking Club - Better Late than Never
This is my friends shrimp skewer recipe. They come out great, we make them at every cookout during the summer. They would be good over pasta too.
The key is to marinate them overnight!! You have to do that, or they don't taste the same- I swear.

Teriyaki salmon and salad with honey-lime dressing
So... I do not have this recipe saved online and I am not at home with the cookbook. I will do my best to update later with a better teriyaki recipe - but just buying teriyaki sauce is fine.
Marinate salmon in teriyaki sauce for 30 min - 1 hour. Cook how you like (we prefer to grill it, skin down, basting with the extra marinade).
Honey-lime salad dressing: vigorously beat/shake 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/8 cup honey, juice of 1 lime, zest of 1 lime, and 1/4 tsp nutmeg until it is combined.
Serve over bed of mixed greens with green bell pepper, orange bell pepper, red onion, and avocado slices.
