Oven Baked Shrimp Skewers

Oven Baked Shrimp Skewers

These Oven Baked Shrimp Skewers are shrimp marinated in garlic, fresh lemon juice and herbs, then threaded onto sticks and cooked to perfection. It is easy to make yet fancy enough to serve at your next party.

Ingredients

To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: medium shrimp, olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic, fresh parsley leaves, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat).

How to make Oven Baked Shrimp Skewers

1. Toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Let shrimp marinate for 20-30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Next, spray a baking sheet with a cooking spray. Thread shrimp onto skewers and place skewers on a prepared baking sheet.

Thread shrimp onto skewers and place skewers on a prepared baking sheet.

3. Finally, bake shrimp just until pink and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes.  Cooking time depends on the size of the shrimp and the oven.

Any skewers will work for this shrimp recipe: wooden skewers, bamboo skewers or metal skewers.

Garlic shrimp skewers (or shrimp kabobs) are delicious and full of fresh flavor. I love this recipe’s shrimp marinade because it’s simple, yet has a bold flavor. You can marinate them in a variety of sauces and spices such as garlic, lemon juice (or lime juice), olive oil, soy sauce, honey, ginger, Cajun or Italian seasoning, or even a combination of these for a unique taste.

Oven Baked Shrimp Skewers

Leftover shrimp should be removed from the skewers and kept in an airtight container for up to four days.

Oven Baked Shrimp Skewers are indeed a versatile and delicious dish that can be customized in numerous ways. You can intersperse your shrimp with red onion, pineapple, bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms. These not only add flavor but will also make the skewers more visually appealing.

While grilling is a popular method for cooking shrimp skewers, I also like bake them in the oven, cook them on a stovetop grill pan or cook shrimp in an air fryer.

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes

These Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes are light, fluffy and delicious breakfast option, especially during the fall season when pumpkins are everywhere. Healthy pumpkin pancakes recipe is just what you need to start your morning.

Ingredients

To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: eggs, olive oil (or coconut oil), pumpkin puree, unsweetened almond milk (any dairy free or regular milk will work), maple syrup (or brown sugar), whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, salt, and pecans for serving (optional). You can also use pumpkin pie spice instead cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Pumpkin spice is the flavor of October, I would say.

Whole wheat flour is my favorite flour to use for cooking and baking. Whole wheat is a type of grain that is minimally processed and contains all parts of the wheat kernel: the bran, germ, and endosperm. This means it retains more nutrients and dietary fiber compared to refined wheat products. Whole wheat is often used to make whole wheat flour, which is a key ingredient in whole grain foods like whole wheat bread, pasta, and cereals. Consuming whole wheat products is associated with various health benefits. While whole wheat flour is not gluten free, it’s a great alternative to regular all purpose flour.

How to make Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes

1. Preheat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Next, in a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Add the oil, pumpkin, milk and maple syrup and whisk to combine. Add dry ingredients: the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt and stir just until incorporated. Do not over mix.

2. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the preheated pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles begin to form on the top and the bottom is golden brown. 

3. Next, flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Repeat the process until all of the batter has been used. Finally, serve pancakes with warm maple syrup and pecans if desired. 

These fluffy whole wheat pancakes are so delicious, easy to customize, and are freezer-friendly. Ditch the store-bought pancake mix loaded with processed ingredients and fall in love with this pumpkin pancake recipe.

Blueberry and Apple Crumble Recipe

Blueberry and Apple Crumble

This easy Blueberry and Apple Crumble is made with blueberries, sliced apples, and a crispy brown sugar oat topping. The perfect easy dessert for fall or any time of year!

Ingredients

To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: blueberries, apples, lemon juice and zest, honey, cornstarch, cinnamon, whole wheat flour, uncooked rolled oats, light brown sugar, butter, and salt.

How to Make this Blueberry and Apple Crumble

1. Heat oven to 375F degrees. Next, combine apples, blueberries, honey, cinnamon, lemon juice and zest in large bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch and toss until fruit is coated. Place fruit filling in an ungreased dish. I used a 9×13-inch baking dish (a similar size pie dish or square baking dish will work too).

2. For the crumble topping, combine whole wheat flour, uncooked rolled oats, light brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt in the same bowl. Sprinkle the oat crumble topping over fruit.

3. Finally, bake about 40 – 45 minutes or until topping is golden brown and fruit is tender.

Apples are a nutritional powerhouse, offering a wide range of health benefits. They are packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, promoting digestive health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and boosting overall well-being. Enjoying this delicious fruit is a tasty way to enhance our health.

I used Granny Smith apples in this blueberry apple crumble recipe. But here are other great apples for baking :

Golden Delicious, Fuji, SweeTango, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, and/or Pink Lady.

Blueberries have exceptional health benefits as well. These tiny, vibrant berries are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, making them a nutritional powerhouse. Consuming blueberries can enhance brain function, protect against oxidative stress, and improve heart health. Their anti-inflammatory properties may also reduce the risk of chronic diseases and support healthy aging.

I like to use fresh blueberries for this apple blueberry crumble recipe but frozen blueberries can also work.
