How do you make shrimp kabobs?
The inaugural step in this recipe is to marinate your shrimp and vegetables. The marinade is a flavorful blend of olive oil, garlic, honey, soy sauce and herb. The prawn and vegetables go onto skewers, then get grilled until the prawn is aureate brown and veggies are tender .
Tips for shrimp skewers
- Use the biggest shrimp you can afford for this dish. I recommend using jumbo shrimp (21-25 shrimp per pound)
- The shrimp and vegetables should marinate for at least one hour for best results. You can leave the shrimp and veggies in the marinade for up to 8 hours.
- I typically use metal skewers because they don’t burn on the grill. If you use bamboo skewers, you can soak them in ice water for 30 minutes before cooking to prevent them from burning.
- This recipe also works great with scallops or chunks of salmon for a different flavor.
What do you put on shrimp kabobs?
Shrimp kabobs typically contain shrimp along with some type of vegetable. In this character, I ’ ve gone with a colorful assortment of peppers and onions, but other great options include mushrooms, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, yellow squash or even boiled potatoes .
How do you cook skewered shrimp?
My favorite way to cook skewer shrimp is to grill them for 2-3 minutes per side until they ’ rhenium pink and opaque. If you ’ re using larger prawn, you might need to cook them for an extra minute or two per side. You can besides broil these skewers in the oven for 4 minutes per side .
HOW TO PEEL AND DEVEIN SHRIMP
I typically buy my raw shrimp with just the tail attached, but many shrimp besides come hush in the full blast. If your shrimp have shells on them, you can easily remove the shells by pulling the main partially of the plate off with your fingers, then removing the dock end of the shell ( optional ). You may besides need to devein your shrimp. If you see a dark line running across the top of the the runt, you can remove it by using a paring knife to cut a slit along the top of the runt, then use a knife or wooden skewer to remove and discard the vein .
You can ’ thymine go incorrect with grill runt – these skewers are a fabulous easy dinner, or make a smaller interpretation to serve as a party appetizer. No matter how you serve them up, these kabobs are certain to get rave reviews .
