Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers
Posted in: Appetizer ideas, Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Grill Ideas |
I received an “Ask Roni” email the other day from Deanna requesting shrimp recipes so when I saw them at the grocery store tonight, I thought, humpf, Why not?
So upon returning from the store I whipped up a quick marinade, let the shrimp sit for about 20 minutes while I put the groceries away and then I grilled them on skewers.
To my surprise the husband offered up his dinner praises without being prompted. I almost fell out of my chair! He only had one complaint about the shrimp being hard to shell. Hey, I can live with that! 
- 3 cloves of garlic run through a garlic press
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp honey (21g)
- Kosher Salt & Pepper
- 1 pound of uncooked shrimp (I used 26-30 count)
Mix the garlic, oil, lemon juice, honey, and a sprinkle of salt & pepper in a medium bowl.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. let sit for at least 20 minutes.
Skewer the shrimp and grill about 3-4 minutes a side until pink all the way through.

This recipe sounds really good. I have made shrimp skewers before and i love them for a good, satisfying WW meal! They are so low in calories. I would also love to see more shrimp recipes.
I make a shrimp pasta using whole wheat linguine and saute the 1 pound bag of frozen shrimp in 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tsp minced garlic. Then drain the pasta, toss in the olive oil and shrimp, top with fresh chopped parsley and serve with a green salad. Can also add chopped roma tomatoes for a completely different taste.
Roni I’ve only recently started lurking here to find good healthy recipe ideas and have a quick question about the marinade. I love lemon juice but was wondering if you think that a tablespoon of lime juice would be a good substitute? I have a lot of it and thought this might be a good instance when it could stand in. Anyway, they look very yummy!
I think it would be fabulous!!
Try it and let me know!
I just saw this, am I a moron or what? I am at your site EVERY DAY, duh!! I can’t wait to make it this week. I did make the Veggie and Shrimp (sans angel hair) recipe you gave me for Mothers Day and got RAVE reviews!! So kudos to you (and me for following the recipe)!
