Grilled Shrimp Kabobs
Description
This recipe begins by soaking bamboo skewers to prevent burning during cooking. Raw peeled and deveined shrimp are rinsed and dried, then combined with cut vegetables and a marinade consisting of olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes. After marinating for at least 30 minutes, the shrimp and vegetables are threaded alternately onto skewers.
The kabobs are grilled over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes per side. This technique cooks the shrimp just until opaque and retains moisture, while the vegetables develop slight tenderness with a pleasant char. The combined flavors from the marinade and grilling create a balanced profile of citrus, herbs, and mild heat.
Grilled Shrimp Kabobs are served immediately to enjoy the fresh texture and flavors. This dish offers a colorful and flavorful option for a light meal or appetizer.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container and kept up to three days.
