Prep Time 30 minutes | Cook Time 4 minutes | Total Time 34 minutes
Ingredients
- 3/4 pounds medium shrimp thawed, peeled & deveined
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 large handfuls baby arugula
Marinade:
- Juice & zest of 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or more to taste)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 dashes Italian seasoning
- Salt & pepper to taste
Dressing:
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon liquid honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chives chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add marinade ingredients to a Ziploc bag. Shake to combine then add the shrimp and toss until they’re coated. Marinate for 30 minutes – 1 hour. Don’t leave them too long or their texture can change.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them for 30 minutes to prevent burning and splintering.
- While the shrimp are marinating, you can prep your other ingredients. Spiralize the zucchini on the medium setting and add to a bowl, along with the arugula.
- Add the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and mix using a spoon.
- Once the shrimp are done marinating, thread them onto the skewers. Preheat your BBQ/grill to high, and grill for 2 min/side with the lid down (I like mine with a little char) or until they’re cooked to your liking.
- Pour the dressing over the zoodles and arugula and toss to coat. You can take the shrimp off the skewers or leave them on. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
- Every BBQ/grill/grill pan is different, so please take my cooking time as a guideline only and ensure that your shrimp are cooked to your liking. I use a gas BBQ.
- This is the spiralizer I use.
- Serves 2 as an entree or 4 as an appetizer.
