Description

These quick and easy shrimp kebabs make a great summertime meal on the grill. The fruit, citrus and jalapeno make a tangy and zesty combination.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp canola oil or toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp freshly grated zest of lime
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 12 raw shrimp (8-12 per pound), peeled and deveined
  • 3 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded and quartered lengthwise
  • 2 plums, pitted and cut into sixths

Instructions

Whisk oil, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and salt in a large bowl. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the mixture in a small bowl to use as a dressing. Add shrimp, jalapenos and plums to the remaining marinade, toss to coat.

Preheat grill to medium-high.

Make 4 kebabs, alternating shrimp, jalapenos and plums evenly among the skewers. You can discard the marinade. Grill the kebabs, turning once, until the shrimp are cooked through, about 8 minutes.

Drizzle with the reserved dressing.

Notes

If you like, use peaches or nectarines in place of the plums and red or green bell peppers for the jalapeno if you prefer a little less kick.
