Garlic Herb Shrimp Kebabs Recipe

If you love seafood then you will love this recipe. This garlic herb shrimp kebabs recipe is everything seafood lovers enjoy.

This shrimp kebabs recipe is perfect for the grill, but if you are like me and you don’t own a grill you can still make them. I made mines on a stovetop grill and I was still able to enjoy this delicious recipe.

I served these kebabs with an easy green salad, that only requires 3 ingredients and I topped it with a simple vinaigrette. You will surely love this recipe, not only because of the quickness but because of the flavours.

These kebabs gave me life, it was everything I wanted and more. I used dried herbs because it was better in this recipe in my opinion, but you can use fresh herbs. I know a lot of people are against using dried herbs in anything but sometimes dried herbs are just convenient.

What ever float your boat go ahead with it. I did a simple salad, but you can always add more ingredients to your salad. However, the vinaigrette I advise you to keep just as simple as it is because it is perfect for this recipe.

I hope you enjoy the recipe.
