Shrimp Kabob Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add jumbo shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Cook the Rice

   Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Prepare the Kabobs

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated shrimp and pineapple chunks alternately onto skewers.

4. 4

   Grill the Kabobs

   Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.

5. 5

   Cook the Peas

   In a small pot, heat a little water and add the green peas. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until tender, then drain.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the grilled shrimp kabobs over a bed of basmati rice with a side of green peas.
