Ingredients:
1 untreated alder plank
1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 pound raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail on
(approximately 16 shrimp)

Skewers:
1 pound fresh rosemary sprigs Marinade:
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped fine
2 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped fine
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh garlic, chopped fine
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice

Directions:
Soak plank in water at least 4 hours.
Weigh down so plank is completely submerged. Drain and set aside.
For the Skewers:
Starting at the thickest end,
pull the rosemary leaves off the stem,
leaving half of the leaves on.
Use 2 teaspoons of the left-over leaves in your marinade.

For the Marinade:
Combine all marinade ingredients; blend evenly.
Put marinade into a large resealable plastic bag,
add shrimp, refrigerate and let marinate for 1 to 2 hours.

Directions:
Preheat grill. If using a gas grill, preheat on high,
then turn down to medium before placing the plank on the grill.
If using a charcoal grill, coals should be at a medium-high
heat before placing plank on the grill.
Using a small basting brush, oil the plank on one side.
Place shrimp on plank and place the plank on the grill.
Cover and cook 10 minutes or until shrimp are no longer translucent, turning shrimp once. Skewer shrimp with rosemary sprigs and serve.
