Nutritional values

Shrimp contains lean protein and plenty of iodine, which is often in short supply in our daily diets. Additionally, both the tomatoes and onions are a great source of vitamin C which is important for a healthy immune system! 

These shrimp skewers are great to be accompanied by pineapple salsa and a colorful salad, packing in even more vitamins and fiber.
