Shish Kabob

BurtonFanatic's Note:

These lamb kabobs are marinated in very little oil or salt, but the flavor is lively when orange juice, lemon juice, rosemary, and garlic are added. From SparkPeople.com Calories: 248.5 Fat: 8.9 g Carbohydrates: 15.7 g Protein: 27.1 g

Made these last night-it was great! marinated it overnight and the flavor was fantastic-i was a bit worried we would have too much, but it only made about 9 kabobs with an extra veggie kabob left over-so for us it only served 4 adults. thanks for a great recipe!

I prepared this for this week's extended family dinner. Even the one person who isn't a lamb aficionado enjoyed it thoroughly. The marinade is a good mix of sweet, spicy and tangy. I only had three hours for marinating, so I think I'll start earlier next time. I did do them on the grill, as it was a nice weekend. The cooking time is the same with the grill (propane) on low heat. Because it's so easy and tasty, we’ll be cooking this again.
