Greek shrimp kebabs with tzatziki
As barbeque season approaches, mix up your usual grilled recipes with these quick and tasty marinated Greek shrimp kebabs. Pair with a wide array of seasonal vegetables (cooked or raw) and a quick tzatziki sauce on the side for a low carb meal, or add a warm pita bread for the picky palates in the family.
Tzatziki adds a tangy, creamy flavour that compliments almost any grilled food, which is why it is so loved in the Mediterranean. You can find the recipe here.
