Spanish Pinchos

chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey sausage lowers fat content while maintaining flavor.

shrimp

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Tofu provides protein with fewer calories.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with less fat.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

Roast butternut squash, red peppers, and beets ahead of time.

Add olive oil to a pan and heat it up.

Thinly slice garlic and add it to the pan with olive oil.

Add shrimp to the pan with garlic and cook until shrimp is no longer translucent, about a couple of minutes.

Remove shrimp from heat when it has a nice bite but is not too chewy.

Begin assembling Pinchos by stacking roasted vegetables and shrimp together.

Drizzle some of the garlic olive oil over the assembled Pinchos.

Optionally serve with chips on the side.

For a sweet version, mix goat cheese with rosemary and honey, and serve with roasted butternut squash and figs.
