Marinated Shrimp and Feta Kabobs with Lime Marinade Recipe

  • Lime Marinade:
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine or reduced-fat chicken broth
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Shrimp Kabobs:
  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled, deveined
  • 1/2 small eggplant, cubed
  • 1 zucchini, thickly sliced
  • 1 sweet yellow pepper or red pepper, cut into pieces
  • 2 onions, cut into wedges
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 12 mushroom caps
  • 9 ounces feta, cubed
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  1. To Make the Marinade: Combine all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until it's time to marinate.
  2. To Prepare the Kabobs: Place the shrimp in a 1-gallon (4-L) plastic food-storage bag; place the vegetables and cheese in another 1-gallon (4-L) plastic food-storage bag. Pour half the marinade over the shrimp and half over the vegetables; seal the bags and shake. Refrigerate the bags for at least 30 minutes, shaking them occasionally.
  3. Thread the shrimp on six metal skewers; arrange the vegetables on six metal skewers. Grill over medium-hot coals or broil 6 inches (15 cm) from the heat source until shrimp and vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes for the shrimp and 12 minutes for the vegetables, turning halfway through the cooking time. Thread the cheese on the skewers with the shrimp and heat for 30 seconds on each side. Serve with the rice.
