| Seasoning |
| 3 cloves of garlic, minced |

| ¼ tsp pepper |
| 1 slice of lemon |
| 2 sprigs of rosemary (optional) |
- Chop 1 Roma tomato into small pieces for the salad and set to the side.
- Mince and crush the other Roma tomato with a spoon to make a sauce for the shrimp. Add in crushed garlic, seasoned salt, vinegar, pepper, lemon, and rosemary.
- Combine the shrimp and stir in the sauce.
- Turn on the grill to preheat the grates. Apply a small bit of oil with paper towel to the grates to prepare a non-stick surface.
- String the shrimp on the skewers and set on a plate.
- Transfer the skewers to the grill. Cook each side for 3-5 minutes on medium high heat or until pink. (Usually you would want to soak your wooden skewers, however the short cooking time for this recipe makes it unnecessary to do so.)
