Shrimp and Lime Skewers

 
Shrimp and lime skewers
 
 
 
Do you remember my post from July on Entertaining with Tapas? If you haven’t seen it, you can find it HERE.
 
In that post, I promised to come back with some Tapas recipes. Well here is a really good and easy one your guests will love.  
 
Those shrimp and lime skewers are so delicious and simple to prepare, you’ll want to make them again and again. Think about making them for the Holidays! Add them your Christmas menu.

      Anna’s right, repace the shrimps with strips of chicken and adjust the cooking time.

    Shrimp on the barbie! Classic Aussie line. BBQ shrimp always brings out memories of summer for me, but it looks like you can make yours in the oven at any time of the year. Great marinade recipe — I’ve also used a classic vinaigrette marinade on the grill, and had good luck with that. Thanks for sharing!

    Oh this sounds wonderful, I have never had it with lime, but I love grilled shrimp and this is neat because it can be broiled in our oven, thank you for sharing this recipe, on my list to try
