You’d never guess that a pair of these colorful kabobs has only 2g of fat total! An easy tomato-based mixture is used as a marinade and basting sauce to add just the right amount of sweet-sour taste to the shrimp, pineapple and veggies. (This recipe is diabetic friendly).

Tangy Shrimp Kabobs Recipe
Tangy Shrimp Kabobs
1 can (20 oz.) Dole Pineapple Chunks in 100% Pineapple Juice
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
½ cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
4 ½ tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. prepared mustard
1 ½ lb. uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 pearl onions
1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large green pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
Hot cooked rice, optional
Drain pineapple, reserving ¼ cup juice; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar, mustard and reserved pineapple juice. Pour ¾ cup marinade into a large resalable plastic bag; add shrimp. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 3 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining mixture for sauce.
In a Dutch oven, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Add onions; boil for 2 minutes. Add peppers and boil 2 minutes longer. Drain and rinse in cold water; peel onions. Refrigerate vegetables until ready to grill.
In a small saucepan, bring ¾ cup of reserved tomato sauce mixture to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Keep warm.
Drain and discard marinade. On 12 metal or soaked wooded skewers, alternately thread shrimp and vegetables. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
Grill kabobs, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from the heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink, basting occasionally with remaining tomato sauce mixture. Drizzle kabobs with warm sauce. Serve with rice if desired. 6 servings
