Description
Firecracker Grilled Shrimp Skewers are a flavorful and quick dish perfect for grilling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Juice of 1 lime
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, ground ginger, and lime juice to create the marinade.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator. Do not marinate for too long as the lime juice can start to ‘cook’ the shrimp.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers. Do not overcrowd the skewers.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the level of heat.
- Serve with rice, a side salad, or grilled vegetables.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
