Grilled Shrimp Kabobs

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled deveined
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme 
  • 1-2 teaspoons fresh oregano (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon cumin  
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced (about 3 medium cloves) 
  • 1 teaspoon pepper flakes 
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil  
  • 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice 
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Soak skewers for at least 20 minutes, totally submerged in water before using them to prevent burns.
  • Heat the gas grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly spray or oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine thyme, oregano, black pepper, cumin, garlic, pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, olive oil, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Add shrimp to a large bowl, season with salt, then marinade shrimp with the spicy mixture.
  • Use some marinade to rub on the vegetables, then salt to taste.
  • Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, alternating between the shrimp and vegetables. Make sure the front of the skewer is covered with vegetables or shrimp.
  • Place the skewers on a grill pan or gas grill.
  • Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until vegetables are fully cooked.
  • Serve warm with salad, rice, or creamy orzo.

Enjoy!
