Grilling is always a great option for quick and healthy meals. Kabobs are great for grilling and their endless varieties of vegetables and protein you can add to your skewer. Below is a healthy and easy recipe for shrimp and scallop kabobs.
Next week try using chicken, beef or seafood with sausage.
You can also grill your vegetables right along with your kabobs or add them to the skewers.
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
24 medium to large shrimp 36 scallops (beef or chicken pieces)
1 lb. turkey bacon slices
4 to 5 small lemons or limes
1/4 lb. Melted Light Butter
8-oz. jar Catalina Salad Dressing (or more)
2 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
16 oz. Fresh Mushrooms
Sprig of Fresh Dill
1 tbsp. Parsley
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
Tarragon (if using chicken)
Directions:
1.Marinate shrimp, scallops and mushrooms in butter, dressing, dill, Worcestershire, parsley and garlic powder, overnight if possible.
2. Cut Canadian bacon slices to fit around shrimp.
3. Skewer each shrimp and Canadian bacon piece with a toothpick to hold together. If there is extra bacon wrap it around the scallops as well.
4. Set aside marinade for use later.
5. Place mushrooms, shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, etc. on 6 large skewers in that order and continue until skewers are full.
6.Cook on a medium to high gas grill, and sprinkle with lime or lemon juice over the skewers. Immediately follow by basting with marinade, and continue to baste until bacon is cooked and crisp.
7. Do not leave unattended and keep moist. If your grilling scallops or shrimp grill each side for less than 5 minutes. Make sure to watch your grill the entire time and it is best to take your skewers off a few seconds before cooked fully so that they don’t get dry or tough.
8. Serve immediately.
