Healthy, easy shrimp kabobs, that are actually leftover magic.

As you will come to learn, I force veggies on my family. I often enjoy tricking them into eating them, but more on that later.

I also rarely use EXACT recipes. This is one of those times.

I've made beef kabobs in a very similar way, but this is my first time using shrimp. My family's conclusion was a fantastic dinner, plus a good breakfast.

So, the recipes......

Kabobs:

• 
  
• 1 yellow squash
• 1 zucchini
• Handful of grape tomatoes. I only had a few, would have been great with even more
• 2 yellow onions
• 1 Lemon
• 3 red potatoes
• 1 bag of deveined, peeled shrimp*
• 1 Tbsp of oil. *
• Seasoned salt*
• Lemon Pepper
• Garlic powder

1. Chop all of the above fruits & veggies, set lemon aside
2. Boil water, place in potatoes. Boil for 5 minutes, dump water & let cool.
3. Dump veggies and shrimp in a big bowl, mix well.
4. Sprinkle oil over all, mix again
5. Sprinkle Season Salt all over until the top of mixture is coated, put lid on bowl & shake up again
6. Repeat step 4 with lemon pepper
7. Repeat step 4 with a few dashes of garlic powder
8. Assemble kabobs. I put a lemon on the top of each of skewer & it was a really great for overall flavor. It's optional though. I had a lemon that was near the end.*
9. Broil*
10. Put all your leftovers in a bowl in the fridge.

*Sidenotes
Veggies: This is a recipe where I like to use any veggies I have, especially ones that only have a day of two before they go bad. I would have liked to use mushrooms, peppers, tomatillos, broccoli, or cauliflower, but I didn't have any. THIS IS THE LEFTOVER MAGIC! Have you ever said, "OH crap. We have to eat (insert veggie here) before it goes bad.", then forget to use it and throw it out? This recipe is great for all those veggies! And the leftovers from dinner turn into breakfast.

Shrimp: I used precooked kind. You can use whatever kind you want. I usually prefer the uncooked kind, but it was nice to only have to peel tails with the precooked kind, versus the whole shell off of uncooked variety. If you get uncooked, be sure to cook it all the way. Shrimp should be pink.

Oil: I used vegetable. You could really use anything. I've used olive and once a teeny bit of grapeseed oil cause it was all I had.

Cooking method: I broiled mine. They could also be grilled

Flavoring: Again, I used what I know my family likes and what I had. This kind of recipe is one you could experiment with a little to find what your family likes.


Breakfast

1. Put potatoes in one pan to reheat
2. Place veggies in the other
3. Beat eggs & pour over veggies.
4. Cook, add cheese, eat

Potatoes and eggs can be done together. Whatever you want.
