Shrimp Kebab

Serves 4

April this year is an exceptional month for Muslims. They will go through a month of fasting leading up to their most significant holiday, Eid al-Fitr. So, for people who do or don’t celebrate this holiday, why not try a shrimp dish with a middle eastern flare to accompany you in this fasting season? Since the ingredients are simple, and more so is the cooking method.

Ingredients:

Shrimps 1 Kg (Size 50 counts/Kg or bigger)

Skewers

Olive Oil ½ cup

Garlic 4 cloves, minced

Paprika 1 teaspoon

Cumin ½ teaspoon

Cinnamon ½ teaspoon

Lemon Zest ½ teaspoon (Not lemon juice!)

Red Pepper Flakes ½ teaspoon

Salt and Pepper

How to Cook:

1. Peel your shrimp and clean it

2. Make the marinade by mixing olive oil with the prepared herbs. Remember not to use any lemon juice as it will react to the shrimp. If you want to add lemon juice, add it after you cook the shrimp before you eat it.

3. Mix your shrimp well with the marinade and let it rest in your refrigerator for about 30 minutes

4. When you’re done resting your shrimps, skewer them while you prepare your grilling equipment

5. Grill them for 3-4 minutes on each side

6. Plate it and enjoy

So, next time you have guests around, instead of serving a boring dish like a shrimp cocktail, instead try cooking this recipe and impress your guests!
