Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Grilled Shrimp Skewers.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large bowl and whisk together some olive oil, ketchup, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried cilantro, paprika, salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 2
Mix it all up until it’s beautifully combined.
Step 3
Next, add in your peeled and deveined shrimp, making sure each piece is generously coated in that flavorful marinade.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour—this is where the magic happens as the flavors meld together.
Step 5
While you’re waiting, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep those shrimp from sticking.
Step 6
Once the shrimp are ready, thread them onto metal skewers, leaving a little space between each one to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to grill! Place the skewers on the preheated grill and let them cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn a lovely pink and opaque.
Step 8
When they’re done, take them off the grill and serve them up right away.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful burst of flavors in every bite of your perfectly grilled shrimp!.
