Fast & Forever Shrimp Recipe

May 23rd, 2010 at 01:04pm Under Uncategorized+ easy grilling recipes+ kabobs+ low carb+ main course+ marinade+ seafood+ shrimp+ skewer

These shrimp kabobs go great with sweet potato fries and a spinach salad. This dish was created while my wife was on a “Fast & Forever” diet. We use Newman’s Oil and Vinegar Salad dressing.

Rate this recipe and see reviews here!

Ingredients

* 20-25 large raw shrimp, peeled
* Montreal chicken seasoning
* Newman’s Own oil & vinegar salad dressing

Directions

Peel shrimp. Season the shrimp by placing the shrimp in a single layer in a 9×13-inch glass baking dish. Shake seasoning over the shrimp, turn the shrimp, and then season the other side. Pour approximately 1/2 bottle of the Newman’s dressing over the shrimp. Let the shrimp marinate for about 1 hour in the refrigerator. Place 4-5 shrimp on a wooden skewer. This should produce 4-5 skewers. Place the skewers on a hot grill and grill until the shrimp turn pink, about 5 minutes, turning once.
