Instructions

  1. Step
    In a small pot, boil potatoes for 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  2. Step
    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.
  3. Step
    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.
  4. Step
    Place shrimp, potatoes, cheese and vegetables onto skewers in an alternating pattern.
  5. Step
    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!

Provolone cheese is delicious on the grill, but you’ll want to cut it into small, ½-inch cubes and turn often as it will begin to melt as you cook.
