Grilled Sweet Shrimp Skewers

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Sweet Shrimp Skewers.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and combine the brown sugar, zesty lemon juice, rich molasses, freshly chopped basil, vegetable oil, tangy mustard, sweet honey, aromatic ground cloves, creamy ranch dressing, spicy chili powder, and minced garlic.

2. Step 2

   Stir everything together until it’s beautifully blended and the flavors are dancing together.

3. Step 3

   Next, gently add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, making sure each piece is generously coated in that delicious mixture.

4. Step 4

   Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about two hours; this is when the magic happens as the flavors meld together.

5. Step 5

   While your shrimp is soaking up all that goodness, take some wooden skewers and soak them in hot water for around 30 minutes.

6. Step 6

   This little trick helps prevent them from burning on the grill.

7. Step 7

   When you’re ready to cook, fire up your outdoor grill to high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep things from sticking.

8. Step 8

   Now it’s time to thread those marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, placing them close together for even cooking.

9. Step 9

   Once your skewers are ready, place them on the top rack of the grill and let them cook for about 4 minutes, or until the shrimp turns a lovely pink on one side.

10. Step 10

    Flip the skewers over and grill for another 2 to 4 minutes, keeping an eye out for that perfect doneness—look for shrimp that’s fully cooked with no grey left.

11. Step 11

    When they’re done, carefully use a fork to slide the shrimp off the skewers and serve them up hot.

    Enjoy the burst of flavors and the joy of sharing this delightful dish with friends and family!.
