  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided

  • 2 tbsp lime juice from about 2-3 limes
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasonings
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter about 1 oz
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Place 20 oz potatoes into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on medium for 8 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, coat 14 oz peeled shrimp with 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp Italian seasonings, 1 tsp garlic, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt. Set aside.

3

In another bowl, toss 6 oz green zucchini, 6 oz yellow zucchini, 6 oz red bell pepper, 4 oz green bell pepper, and 4 oz red onion with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp oregano.

4

Thread skewers with the shrimp and veggies. You should make about 16 kabobs in total (4 per serving), each having about 2-3 shrimp in between the veggies.

5

Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Use 2 tbsp butter and the remaining oil (2 tbsp) to grill the kabobs, 5 minutes per side. We did it in 3 batches, taking 30 minutes in total.

6

Sprinkle 2 tbsp parsley on top and serve with cooked potatoes and 4 tbsp ketchup.
