INSTRUCTIONS
Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 mins before using.

Add the shrimp to the bowl and mix until coated. Let the shrimp sit for 30 minutes.
After the shrimp has marinated, thread shrimp on pre-soaked skewers.
Preheat the grill (or charcoal grill) to medium heat, oil the grates and grill the shrimps for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque.
Transfer skewers to a plate and serve.
NOTES
Preheat the grill
and
oil the grates
before adding the shrimp.
If you are using
wooden skewers
, be sure to
pre-soak them
before threading the shrimp.
Peel and devein the shrimp before marinating
so it can soak up all the flavors.
Be careful
not to overcook the shrimp
, they only need 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Otherwise, it will turn rubbery and chewy.
Only flip the shrimp once
. When they are ready to flip, they will release from the grill.
You can also grill the shrimp in your favorite grill pan on the cooktop if the weather isn't nice or you don't want to fire the outdoor grill.
