Ingredients

2 red potatoes
4 (6 inch) skewers
16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 large onion, cut into large chunks
1 large tomato, cut into large chunks
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until nearly tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cut in quarters.
Thread 4 shrimp onto skewers, piercing each shrimp near the head and tail, alternating with potato, onion, and tomato chunks; repeat with remaining skewers. Arrange skewers on a platter and coat with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook skewers on preheated grill until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 10 minutes.
