Shrimp, Cantaloupe and Fresh Herb Skewers
9 ingredients
openrecipes
Cubes of sweet cantaloupe are paired with marinated shrimp for a passed hors d’oeuvre that is flavorful, refreshing and easy to prepare. Look for medium-size shrimp, which are just the right size for a satisfying bite. This seafood dish pairs well with a citrusy cocktail, such as a margarita (see related recipe at left).
