Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Teriyaki Shrimp Skewers.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whisk together reduced-sodium soy sauce, pineapple juice, dark brown sugar, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 2
Next, pour this delicious mixture into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Step 3
Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the teriyaki sauce thickens just a bit, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 4
While that’s happening, take your peeled and deveined shrimp and place them in a shallow dish.
Step 5
Pour three-quarters of the teriyaki sauce over the shrimp, making sure each piece is well coated.
Step 6
Let the shrimp marinate for 30 minutes, and don’t forget to save the remaining sauce for basting later—it’s going to add an extra layer of flavor! Now, it’s time to fire up your outdoor grill.
Step 7
Preheat it to medium-high heat and give the grill grates a light oiling to keep those shrimp from sticking.
Step 8
Once the grill is ready, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a little space between each one for even cooking.
Step 9
Grill the shrimp skewers for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip them over.
Step 10
Brush the reserved teriyaki sauce over the shrimp and grill for another 3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn opaque and are perfectly cooked through.
Step 11
As you savor the sizzling sounds and delightful scents, you’ll know you’re in for a treat! Enjoy your flavorful grilled shrimp skewers, perfect for any gathering or a cozy night in.
