Greek Shrimp Skewers Recipe

 Greek Shrimp Skewers are a light appetizer perfect for a party! These small bites taste as good as they look!

Who is planning on watching some award shows this spring? And who loves shrimp?

Starting with the Oscars next week, there will be plenty on TV.  My personal favorite is the Country Music Awards but don't tell my teenagers as that is not the type of music they listen to.

Since it's award show season, the Sunday Supper tastemakers have decided to go all out to give you some ideas on what you can make for your party. And if you are not planning to have a party, why not make a few of these recipes for your dinner and have a family TV night?

I'm really not a fancy type of girl, however I love good finger food. And if you can eat pretty food, why not? Fancy food does not have to be complicated and that is why I'm making this Greek shrimp skewers recipe.I always keep frozen shrimp in my freezer and I love Greek flavors. I like to keep a bag of bamboo skewers on hand also as kabobs or skewers are a fun appetizer to create as I often make Strawberry Basil Feta Skewers and Pesto Tortellini Skewers. The rest of the ingredients are readily available in any supermarket. My guests are always impressed even though they couldn't be any simpler to make. If you have kids, you can get them to help make this appetizer because it's easy and two hands are better than one.

Take a look at the rest of the wonderful finger foods. And if you are not into award shows, find another reason to make some of these recipes!
