Directions

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together Basil Olive Oil, Watermelon Rosé Balsamic, garlic, lemon zest, juice, salt, and pepper.
Marinate Shrimp: Add shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning once. For best flavour, marinate up to 2 hours.
Assemble Skewers: Thread shrimp onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and onion.
Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill skewers for 2–3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are opaque and lightly charred.
Serve: Remove from grill and garnish with green onion and lemon wedges. Optional: drizzle with a bit more Watermelon Rosé Balsamic before serving.
