Ingredients

8 shrimp skewers from your seafood counter

Shawarma Marinade

1 cup whole milk plain yogurt
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1.5 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Pre-heat grill over high heat.
While grill is pre-heating, whisk together the marinade in the bottom of a large glass pan such as a brownie pan. Add the shrimp skewers and flip a few times to ensure evenly coated on both sides. Marinade for 10-15 minutes or so.
Spray grill with non-stick cooking spray or rub with oil oil. Place shrimp skewers on the grill and cook until bright pink, about 8-10 minutes flipping once. Serve immediately.
