Shrimp Kabobs

Red Pepper Mango Israeli Couscous with Shrimp Kabobs are one of my favorite quick summertime recipes. This easy dinner recipe is both easy and very flavorful and made in about 30 minutes time.

I’ve taken full advantage of grilling this summer. More so than I have in past years, and I’m grateful that I live in Florida because we can pretty much grill year round! But for those of you not as fortunate to have that luxury I figured I would squeeze in a few more grilling recipes to satisfy your summer taste buds! I’m also excited because I have a lovely Wholly Guacamole & Salsa giveaway. Back in March when I attended the Southeast Produce Conference I had the opportunity to try the brand new (not-in-stores-yet) fruit salsas! I couldn’t stop talking about them and was chomping on the bit to try them again. My mind was swirling with recipe ideas. These don’t have to be used just as salsa… you can incorporate them into a wide variety of dishes!

One of my first ideas I had was to mix in the red pepper mango salsa into coucous! Adding tons of flavor with very little effort! Boy, was I right. Add some fresh herbs and a little salt and pepper to taste and you have a flavorful side dish in minutes. I paired it with grilled shrimp using my all-time favorite seasoning… Greek seasoning and some grilled asparagus. Perfect summer time meal made in less than 30 minutes! I had never grilled asparagus–like asparagus cooking directly on the grill–not in a foil pouch like a typically do until this year. Directly grilling the asparagus reminds me of roasting them in the oven.

I must preface about the salsas. You still may not be able to locate it in your local grocery store. I’ve yet to see it in Florida–I know the Wholly Guac team is working on it, but I just wanted to give you the heads up since by now I’m sure your chomping at the bit to go run to the store to buy some. But don’t worry–you can enter for a chance to win a cooler prize pack that will be shipped directly to your door!
