Ingredients
- 8 Shrimp from your seafood counter, for skewers
Shawarma Marinade
- 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons salt

Instructions
- Pre-heat grill over high heat.
- While grill is pre-heating, whisk together the marinade in the bottom of a large glass pan such as a brownie pan. Add the shrimp skewers and flip a few times to ensure evenly coated on both sides. Marinade for 10-15 minutes or so.
