It is so simple to make these Rosemary & Thyme Shrimp Skewers. Shrimp is the easiest food to cook and it is very low in calories. These can be grilled, broiled or cooked in a pan as I did. We grow some of our own herbs and I used our dehydrated herbs with this recipe. They are very flavorful and if you want to cut back on the herbs or use your own favorite herbs, you certainly can. You also can use fresh herbs instead of dried. These shrimp are marinated in an olive oil and herb mixture before I cooked them.

In a small bowl, combine dry ingredients.

Add the olive oil and mix until the herbs are all covered in the oil.

Place the herb mixture into a bag and add the shrimp.

Toss the shrimp into the herb mixture until all of the

shrimp are coated, then refrigerate for 2 – 6 hours.

Place the wooden skewers in a dish filled with water,

making sure the skewers are completely covered with the water.

This is done so that the skewers don’t burn.

Leave them there until the shrimp come out of the refrigerator.

Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and push the skewer

through the top and bottom of each shrimp.

Make sure you don’t put too many shrimp on each skewer

because the shrimp need to cook flat so that they can cook evenly.

 

 

Add the olive oil to a large pan.

Heat the oil over medium heat.

Once hot, place the shrimp skewers in the oil and

cook about 3 minutes each side or until the shrimp turn pink.

  5. Shrimp is a great go-to; just wish it was a bit more affordable, but then again, I’d eat way too much of it, if it were cheaper. I’d probably add a little paprika to the herb mixture (LOVE paprika). Rosemary is great. I have managed to keep my thyme plant alive (shocking). Love having fresh herbs around.
