Chimichurri Chicken & Shrimp Skewers

I was feeling really lazy last night after my big weekend in NYC (I will share every little detail in my next blog…first let me feed you!), so I decided to take the easy route to dinner by using an already prepared marinade. I love mixing and mashing my own marinade creations, but there are times when Presidents Choice’s “Memories” marinade and dipping sauces do just the trick with less of a mess. PC does it all these day! From their mini ciabatta hot dog and hamburger buns, to the extra smooth/crunchy peanut butter stuffed pretzels….they never cease to amaze.

Specifically, I rely on their sauces for those perfect dine-in moments. They specialize in different flavors characterized by a particular culture. My favorites include Memories of Portugal Piri Piri, Memories of Dad’s Grill (maple, apple & beer sauce), and their latest flavor: Memories of Argentina Chimichurri Sauce! For the cheap price of $2.50 you can spice up any meat for a fast and enjoyable meal! I skewered my shrimps and chicken between vibrant red and yellow peppers, giving this meat fest a crunchy sweet moment of clarity!

Xo Dom Appetit!
