Cilantro Shrimp Skewers

I know that BBQ season is almost over unfortunately, but I could not help posting this amazing recipe for shrimp skewers! I love shrimp everything about it is great it's so low in calorie each medium shrimp is about 6 calories and only 1 calorie of that actually comes from fat. It's an excellent source of lean protein if you are trying to drop some pounds and loaded with vitamins B12 and D. If you don't eat shrimp, I recommend you start adding it to some dishes since it's so good for you :)


Ingredients:
  • 32 jumo raw prawns
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 24 slices of limes(3 limes) sliced thin
  • cooking spray
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 chopped fresh cilantro 
  • 16 bamboo skewers 
1. Heat grill medium heat and spray with oil
2. Season the shrimp with garlic, cumin, salt and half the cilantro in a medium bowl
3. Beginning and ending with shrimp, thread the shrimp and folded lime slices on to kebab
4. Grill the shrimp, turning occasionally, about 1-2 minutes on each side 
5. Top with remaining cilantro and fresh squeezed lime juice
