Lemon Ginger Shrimp Skewers
Here’s a shrimp recipe I made, skewer-style. It is high in protein and has healthy fat from the olive oil. I ended up with 4 skewers-full of shrimp, which you could split up into a few servings, and add some veggies or rice or serve on a salad – whatever floats your boat. 😉

Lemon Ginger Shrimp Skewers
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 9 oz shrimp (31-40/lb.), peeled and de-veined
- 2 Tbs EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
- 1 Tbs lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper, to taste
- wooden skewers (I used four 12-in skewers)
WHAT YOU DO:
In a small bowl, whisk together the EVOO, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Reserve a small amount for basting. Pour the remaining mixture into a dish, add shrimp, and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hrs.
Soak skewers in water for 30 mins, then thread shrimp onto them. Discard marinade.
Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place shrimp on the baking sheet, pour reserved mixture on top, then broil for approximately 5 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked.
