It's hard to believe, but with just five ingredients, you can have a complete meal; shrimp kabobs cooked on the grill, and an Italian mixed salad.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 6 minutes

Total Time: 21 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. uncooked medium shrimp (about 32) shelled and deveined
  • 2 red or yellow bell peppers, cut into chunks
  • 8 oz. pkg. button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
  • 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing, divided
  • 10 oz. pkg. mixed salad greens

Preparation:

On each of 8 metal kabobs, thread shrimp, pepper chunks, and whole mushrooms, allowing a bit of space in between each ingredient. Measure out 1/4 cup Italian salad dressing and set aside for salad. Brush kabobs with remaining salad dressing and grill or broil 4-6" from heat for 4-6 minutes until shrimp are cooked, turning once and brushing once with salad dressing.

Toss salad with reserved salad dressing and serve with kabobs. I like to 'de-thread' the kabobs right over the salad for a delicious contrast. 4 servings
