Shrimp Skewers with Dill and Feta

I enjoy almost all fish but I really love shellfish! Oysters are my all-time favorite but shrimp, lobster, mussels, clams and scallops…I’ll take them all, any day! They remind me of growing up and spending time on the water in the summers in New England. The sound of the water, the slower pace of a beach town all bring me to a happy place. I found this shrimp recipe in a Real Simple magazine years ago and I like it for several reasons. 1. It’s simple, with only 5 ingredients – shrimp, feta, fresh dill, olive oil and salt/pepper. 2. It’s quick – (ask for deveined shrimp when you buy them) the longest part is putting the shrimp on the skewers. 3 It’s flavor is amazing – the combination of the grilled shrimp, dill and feta is perfect!

TIP – we used to make these on wooden skewers but it’s easier (to both get items on and off) if you use stainless steel skewers. Either a double pronged version, or these single skewers.

This is also great to take off the skewers and put in a bowl over lettuce, brown rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa or your favorite grilled vegetables.
