4 servings
For the skewers
- 1 lb large shrimp (16/20 count), peeled and deveined, tails on
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
For the marinade
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
Ingredient noteDried cayenne pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid cayenne pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
