Mango Shrimp Kebabs

From Cooking Light



Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds large peeled and deveined shrimp
2 large red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 mangoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 limes, cut into wedges

Directions:
Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Sprinkle shrimp evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Thread shrimp, bell pepper pieces, mango cubes, and onion pieces alternately onto each of 8 (12-inch) skewers. Place skewers on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 2 minutes on each side or until shrimp are done. Squeeze juice from lime wedges over kebabs.

Comments:
These were very simple, quick, and good. I didn't eat the shrimp, just the veggies, and I made some rice to round the meal out. The mango I had was very ripe and kind of mushy so it made it a bit of a challenge to get the chunks off the skewers without completely smushing them all. We'd probably make this again.
