Cilantro Lime Shrimp (or chicken)Kebabs

Cilantro Lime Shrimp (or chicken)Kebabs

What you need:
- 3 tablespoons canola oil or toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 raw shrimp (8-12 per pound), peeled and de-veined
 or some chicken breasts cut in cubes
- 3 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded and quartered lengthwise
- 2 plums, pitted and cut into sixths

What to do:

1.Whisk oil, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and salt in a large bowl. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the mixture in a small bowl to use as dressing. Add shrimp, jalapenos and plums to the remaining marinade; toss to coat.
 
2.Preheat grill to medium-high.
 
3 Make 4 kebabs, alternating shrimp, jalapenos and plums evenly among four 10-inch skewers. (Discard the marinade.) Grill the kebabs, turning once, until the shrimp are cooked through, about 8 minutes total. Drizzle with the reserved dressing.
 
what's great about this, its that its just a little different because of the plums...its gives a unique taste, complements all the other ingredients....kinda like a sweet/savory combo!

Let me know what you think!!
