Ingredients
Shrimp & Veggies
- 30 jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 red onion large, cut into 1" pieces
- 1 red bell pepper large, cut into 1" pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper large, cut into 1" pieces
- 1 green bell pepper large, cut into 1" pieces
- 1 tsp Mazola Corn Oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Marinade
- 3 tbsp Mazola Corn Oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 tbsps cilantro finely chopped
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together Mazola Corn Oil, honey, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Add peeled and deveined shrimp to mixture. Lightly toss until all shrimp are covered in the mixture.
- Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 10-30 minutes. Heat up the grill while the shrimp are marinating.
- Cut up the onion and red bell peppers into 1" squares. In a bowl, toss with 1 teaspoon Mazola Corn Oil and salt and pepper, to taste.
- After your shrimp are done marinating, add shrimp and veggies to your skewer. We did it in this order: shrimp, onion, red bell pepper, shrimp, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, and repeat until full. You'll have 5 shrimp on each skewer, and you'll start and end with a shrimp (this is just a guideline, you can mix it up!).
- Once the grill is ready, grill over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side. All grills vary so you'll want to keep an eye on these as they're grilling. Keep checking so they don't burn, but you'll definitely want some of that pretty char that comes from the grill!
- Squeeze the juice from one lime wedge over the finished skewers. Use the remaining lime wedges to squeeze over the skewers as you eat them, if you'd like. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
Notes
Grill times can vary across different grills, so keep an eye on these as you're making them.
Weight Watchers Points (1 serving = 1 skewer)
Only about half of the marinade stays on the shrimp. However, when calculating these points the WW points calculator generates points for the entire recipe and doesn't take that into consideration. So I think you can safely deduct about 1 point from each skewer, but I wanted to present this exactly as the WW points calculator says!
Purple plan: 3 points
Green plan: 4 points
Blue plan: 3 points
