STORY BEHIND THE DISH
These simply delicious shrimp skews have been something my Dad has made with pasta for years. I personally like the BBQ myself so I decided to take the tradition out doors.
MODIFICATIONS/Whole30
This
is
whole30 & paleo approved but the recipe can be modified to your
palate. If you like spicy you can add red pepper flakes or cayenne
pepper. On whole30 you can add ghee to the shrimp or if you are not on whole30 you can add melted butter to the shrimp which is always delicious!
