Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw large, raw jumpo shrimp
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 white onion
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • Optional Garnishes: lime wedges and fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Chop the vegetable into bite-size chunks, about 1½" in size.
  • Place shrimp and vegetables in a large bowl. Toss with the oil and seasonings and set aside.
  • Preheat the grill (or grill pan) to medium heat. Clean the grill with a brush and grease generously with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Assemble your skewers and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the shrimp is opaque and the vegetables are fork-tender or starting to brown slightly.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh lime wedges and chopped cilantro.
