[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Re: BASIL GRILLED SHRIMP KEBABS - 2g Carbs, 1g Fiber

 

Thank you for the information. I think I will do a kabob of just shrimp after the vegetables are done. Don't want to ruin good shrimp.

On the Chew yesterday they said it was better to have the meat, seafood, veggies on separate kabobs as they all cook differently. In this case the shrimp would be done way before the peppers.
