The BEST Grilled Shrimp Recipes; Skewers

(Caribbean style skewers with a delicious apricot marinade!)

 

Have you ever visited Noom's weight loss program or their food database?

This is only one of the great recipes found in the food database for members to choose from.

Besides being an awesome weight loss program, the food recipes are top of the line, easy to fix, low-fat, low-calorie, and most of them are quick and easy to make.

I love Caribbean style food of all sorts, but this recipe adds a little twist I had never experienced before. The apricot marinade is absolutely delicious!

The only thing I would change about this recipe is possibly adding some pineapple, mushrooms, and peppers to the skewers next time I make it.

I love a colorful meal and think that would just top this meal off, making it even more spectacular!

You should allow yourself approximately 46 minutes to prepare this recipe. This includes the:

30 Minute Marinade Process

 

Keep in mind, that this recipe recommends the shrimp to marinade for 30 minutes prior to grilling them.

Preparation For this Recipe

 

Step 1:

Place 1 cup of the apricot preserves in a large microwaveable bowl. (If you don't own a microwave, this process can be done using a sauce pan and stove top.)

Step 2:

Grate 2 teaspoons rind from the lemon into the bowl.

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice into the bowl.

Add the shrimp and toss to coat.

Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Remove the shrimp from the marinade; reserve the marinade. Thread the shrimp onto 8 metal skewers, leaving 1/4″ between the pieces.

Cook 4″ from the heat, basting often with the marinade, for 2 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque.

 

 

Shrimp Skewers are done…

Questions about NOOM & the Trial

 

1. IS IT WORTH IT?

For a fraction of the cost of one visit with a nutritionist or a single workout with a personal trainer, Noom's course gives you unlimited access to a personal coach who is a behavior change professional, nutrition expert, and personal trainer all in one.

 

2. HOW DOES NOOM COMPARE TO OTHER WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMS?

Other weight loss programs don't tackle the thoughts, triggers, and obstacles that can sabotage your progress.

Noom's approach helps you tackle the mental and emotional barriers between where you are and where you want to be.

 

3. HOW DO I CANCEL MY TRIAL?

To cancel your 14-day trial, just let your coach know that you are uninterested in continuing the program.

Easy Peasy!

Noom can sync with most wearable devices (Fitbit, Garmin, you name it). It's easy!

Once you've purchased a course, open the Noom app, tap the upper left “Home” menu.

Find “Settings” then scroll to the bottom for “Apps & Devices”.

Simply choose which device to connect and what data you'd like to share.
