Serves 4 adults
PS I used the skewered shrimp only because it was on sale at Publix the day I walked in at 5:30 with no idea what to serve for dinner. The nice lady had everything stocked in one place. I was out the door and had dinner ready to serve by 6:30 pm. Definitely a hit. May even fix again soon.
PPS If you find the recipe card in your local Publix, you will realize that I increased the amount of veggies, as I had 2 skewers of shrimp leftover and no veggies. Also, I saw no need to toss the raw shrimp in olive oil before setting atop veggies, so I omitted that from the original recipe.
