Instructions
Step 1
In a small pot, boil potatoes for 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, chives, tarragon, salt and pepper. Stir in shrimp, cheese, potatoes, green pepper and tomatoes to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Lemon Sauce: Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Cook, stirring frequently for about 4 minutes or until bubbly and thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in Dijon, salt, lemon zest and juice. Keep warm.
Step 4
Place shrimp, potatoes, cheese and vegetables onto skewers in an alternating pattern.
Step 5
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers, about 6 minutes, turning occasionally or until shrimp is firm and cheese is grill marked (or beginning to melt if you’re using provolone). Remove from skewer, spoon lemon sauce over top and enjoy!
