Tangy Shrimp Kabobs image

You'd never guess that a pair of these colorful kabobs has only 2g of fat total! An easy tomato-based mixture is used as a marinade and basting sauce to add just the right amount of sweet-sour taste to the shrimp, pineapple and veggies. -Pat Waymire, Yellow Springs, Ohio

Easy to make and very tasty. I used a bit less sugar than the recipe called for and it was still plenty sweet.

This recipe was a hit at my last party! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was tangy and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
