  1. I liked it, didn't have time to marinate for 1 hour.. I used concentrated Key lime juice.. very tangy and added some splenda to sweeten... Great!!
     
  2. I really liked the way these came out, a little tangy, a little spicy, and grilling them adds a nice smoky flavor. Very nice.
     
  3. Made this for lunch today with DD - YUMMY! We didn't use any veggies as we decided to grill these and then serve on a salad. Love the combo of lemon, taco seasoning though - this is a great, quick meal for the summer or anytime!! We BBQ year round at our house - rain, snow or shine we just pul, the BBQ to the door and grill away and this is a nice tasty treat! Thanks for the recipe!

  5. *Reviewed for Zaar World Tour 3* We really enoyed these kebabs. I haven't cooked zucchini on kebab sticks before, but it worked well with the prawns. Cut the zucchinis to be about the same thickness as the prawns and cooked them on the BBQ. Photo also being posted.
