Grilled Garlic Jumbo Shrimp And Cherry Tomato Skewers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs large tiger shrimp, shelled and deveined
    15 cherry tomatoes
    8 large garlic cloves (sliced into thirds, use only the middle piece)
    1 tablespoon fresh oregano (can use 1/2 teaspoon dried)
    1/2 teaspoon dried basil
    1/2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (if you like lots of spice use more)
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    salt and pepper
    6 -8 wooden skewers (you might use more or less skewers)
Preparation
    In a large glass bowl, combine ALL ingredients, including the garlic slices, but not the tomatoes.
    Cover and marinade for about 5 hours.
    Make certain that you soak the wooden skewers for a minumum of 30 minutes before you thread the shrimp on them.
    Place one shrimp on the skewer sideways so they will not slip, then a slice of garlic, then a cherry tomato, repeat with shrimp, garlic and then a tomato.
    Repeat with the remaining skewers.
    Brush the tomatoes with olive oil.
    Season all with salt and pepper.
    Grill turning occasionally for about 5 minutes or until they are pink in colour.
