One night I had Brittany over and we made these Kabobs. I loved them–but I have to admit the zucchini was a bit crunchy. Since the shrimp doesn’t take very long to cook, we had to take them off before the zucchini was done. Next time, I will slice the zucchini thinner or use a bell pepper (as the recipe suggests) instead.
Grilled Shrimp Kabobs
submitted by Melanie (Allrecipes)
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Italian salad dressing, divided
2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 large onions
16 large fresh mushrooms
2 large green peppers, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces (I used Zucchini)
16 cherry tomatoes
1 cup Italian salad dressing, divided
2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 large onions
16 large fresh mushrooms
2 large green peppers, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces (I used Zucchini)
16 cherry tomatoes
I added fresh parsley too
DIRECTIONS
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup salad dressing and shrimp. Cut each onion into eight wedges. In another large resealable plastic bag, combine the vegetables and remaining dressing. Seal bags and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 2 hours, turning occasionally.
Drain and discard marinade. On eight metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the shrimp and vegetables. Grill kabobs, covered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink.

Yum! That looks so good! I LOVE grilling season.
Those look delicious! Sometimes I slice my zucchini, put it in a covered microwave dish and cook it for 4-5 minutes. I thread it on the skewer and cook with the kebobs, it turns out perfect!
These kabobs look delicious- a perfect summertime meal and so healthy! Thanks for sharing this idea!
Melanie, these look delicious! I can't wait to try them now that we have a grill. :)
(Btw, I just deleted a spam comment about a dating website. Since we all have already found our Mr Right, I figured… :) )
They look really good, I have to try this, I've never made shrimp on the grill before!
Shrimp is not something I normally cook, but this looks really good. I know BBQ season is over, but I can't pass this up and by next summer I'll forget.
Thanks for sharing it though. Going to freeze out in the snow just to make this!
I know it's not as pretty, but we always thread the vegetables on seperate skewers from the shrimp and start the veggie ones way before the shrimp ones!
