Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning (I prefer Pampered Chef)
2 teaspoons sweet Hungarian paprika
2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Pam cooking spray
8 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, paprika, lemon rind, salt, pepper, and garlic.
  • Add shrimp and toss to coat.
  • Thread the shrimp onto 4 skewers.
  • The original recipe calls for broiling these on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray (2 minutes on each side), however, I prefer to grill them over medium heat until they turn pink (2 to 4 minutes per side).
  • Remove the shrimp from the skewers and arrange over the hot pasta.
  • Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley.
