A lot of people think that you lose flavor when you are eating healthy. But there are so many ways to boost the flavor without adding a ton of calories! Grilling is a fantastic way to add both flavor and texture to your meal. These grilled shrimp skewers and grilled corn cook so fast. Add a few other flavor enhancing ingredients and you have a delicious meal that fits into your healthy lifestyle.

I served the grilled shrimp skewers and veggies over rice, but you could use cauliflower rice to lower the carbs and points if you prefer. You could also serve in a warm tortilla for a delicious taco! I like the carb balance tortillas for a healthier option. Siete has wonderful grain-free tortillas too.
Make these Grilled Shrimp Skewers & Veggies WW Friendly:
- This recipe is already very WW friendly (these SmartPoints are based on Blue Plan). As is, it is 6 SmartPoints. To lower those points, remove the avocado and it is only 3.
- The SmartPoints include 1/2 cup of rice in the bottom of the bowl. You could always swap out for cauliflower rice to make this super low in points!
Do You Have to Have a Grill?
Nope! You can still get good char and flavor by using a cast iron skillet on the stove top! Those instructions are included in the note section of the recipe card.
I use a gas grill for this recipe, but you can use a charcoal grill as well.
You can use wooden or metal skewers for the shrimp. I actually prefer metal ones, they are easier to use and the shrimp slide off easier once cooked.

To kick up the flavor even more, you could make my Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice or my Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice!
