Shrimp and Scallop Spiedini. As promised we have another Lenten recipe to share. These shrimp and scallop skewers or spiedini in Italian are so flavorful and delicious and perfect for fish Fridays. They’re super simple to make too. Just coat them in a simple breadcrumb olive oil marinade and place them under the broiler. This is a light and healthy Friday dinner and goes perfectly with a simple lemony salad. They can also be grilled so you’ll definitely want to save this one for summer!!
