It’s grilling season! We eat off the grill as much as possible during the summer and these Cajun grilled shrimp kabobs are AMAZING and so so easy. Better yet, you prepare the dry rub from your own spice cabinet so they are 21 day fix approved, clean AND can be salt free (which is virtually impossible with dry rubs). Grill with your favorite veggies on a kabob and pair with a side salad or grill up some corn or sweet potatoes. Let me know what you think.
