Simple, tasty, healthy summer recipe. I made the minor mistake of leaving the shrimp too long in the marinade, which started to cure them and made them a little tough. Next time I'll know better.

Good recipe and low carb, too! Pleasantly surprised at my first attempt at grilling fruit. Plums were not as sour, even though it's in a lime marinade.

A very flexible recipe! These kebabs are super quick and super flexible. You could use any pepper your family favors and most seasonal fruits. We have tried them with scallops and they were lovely. We have used peaches now that they are in season and have used poblanos to vary the flavors. It's one of the few recipes my husband wants every week in Summer. Pros: Flexible, pretty, healthy, quick, Summer-on-a-stick Cons: none

Wonderful Flavor! The plums with the jalapenos were perfect together. If you don't mind spice you MUST try this recipe. I put mine on a bed of avacado, sliced cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime, and lettuce mixed together.
