Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Marinated Shrimp Skewers.
Step 1
To start your culinary adventure, grab a large bowl and pour in some olive oil, followed by a generous splash of tomato sauce, minced garlic, and a dash of red wine vinegar.
Step 2
Give it a good mix to create a flavorful marinade that will make your shrimp sing with taste.
Step 3
Next, fold in the chopped basil, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, ensuring everything is evenly blended for that perfect kick.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to introduce the shrimp to this delightful mixture.
Step 5
Toss them in, making sure each piece is well coated in the marinade.
Step 6
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 7
This step is crucial as it allows the shrimp to soak up all those delicious flavors, so don’t rush it! While the shrimp are marinating, preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to keep those tasty skewers from sticking.
Step 8
Once the shrimp are ready, thread them onto skewers, piercing each shrimp near the tail and head for a secure hold.
Step 9
Feel free to discard any leftover marinade; your shrimp are ready to shine! Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Step 10
You’ll know they’re done when they turn opaque and are cooked through, releasing a mouthwatering aroma that will have everyone gathering around.
Step 11
Once grilled to perfection, remove the skewers and serve them hot.
Step 12
Enjoy your delicious grilled shrimp skewers, and watch as they become the star of your meal!.
