Equipment

wooden or metal skewers
grill pan or outdoor grill

Ingredients

For the Shrimp (makes 4 skewers)

1 lb shrimp jumbo, peeled, deveined
1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp dill
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 garlic cloves

For the Vegetables (makes 8 skewers)

1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 bunch asparagus
1 red onion
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp dill dried
1/4 tsp oregano dried
2 cloves garlic

Instructions

For the Shrimp

Combine all ingredients (except the shrimp) and whisk together to form the marinade.
Toss the shrimp in the marinade. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to marinate.
Skewer the shrimp on wooden or metal skewers. If using an outdoor grill, soak your skewers in water to soften them. If using a grill pan, this is unnecessary.
Cook on a grill pan or grill on medium high heat, flipping once until cooked through.

For the Vegetables

Wash the vegetables. Trim the end off the asparagus.
Chop the onion into large chunks, big enough to skewer. Chop the asparagus into 1.5-2" pieces.
Combine all ingredients (except the vegetables) in a small bowl to form the vinaigrette.
Skewer the vegetables on wooden or metal skewers, alternating and creating a pattern. If using an outdoor grill, soak your skewers in water to soften them. If using a grill pan, this is unnecessary.
Place the skewers in a dish and pour the vinaigrette on top.
Let the vegetables sit until you are ready to cook them.
Grill the vegetables until cooked (if using a grill pan, cook for about 10 minutes, covering with a lid and flipping frequently).
Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette from the bowl on top of the cooked skewers before serving.
