This summer recipe for Shrimp Kebabs, served on flatbread with a spicy yogurt sauce is the perfect combination of fiery spice.
The homemade yogurt sauce is flavored with real harissa, a hot Tunisian chili pepper paste, combined with citrus juice to perfectly complement the shrimp. Topped with arugula for added peppery flavor perfection.
Perfect for pairing with a chilled, sweet wine to balance the spicy flavor, like a Sutter Home White Zinfandel, Moscato or Pink Moscato.
