Learn the BEST tips and tricks for creating the most delectable summertime dinner- lemon garlic shrimp kabobs! They're so easy to throw together for the grill, and your hands-on prep and grilling time is under 15 minutes with the easiest shrimp kabob marinade.
Combine marinade ingredients and marinate refrigerated for 30 minutes up to six hours.
GRILL
Dry shrimp and put on skewers (metal or bamboo soaked 15+ minutes in water).
Preheat grill to medium high. Brush grill grate with olive oil.
Grill shrimp 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink.
Flip and grill 2-3 minutes on the other side until translucent and pink.
Notes
Variations
Don't drink wine? Use a white cooking wine instead.
Spice it up! Add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to your marinade.
For an added dose of flavor, baste with a little melted butter as the shrimp are grilling.
Tips
Don’t marinate more than six hours
Soak bamboo skewers
Don't overcook your shrimp - remove when they turn pink with a red tail
On the Stovetop
Prep and Marinate – Make sure shrimp are completely thawed. Follow steps above for marinating and coating shrimp.
Heat Oil – Heat oil over medium high heat in pan. When oil moves around the pan easily, add shrimp. (They will sizzle when they hit the pan.)
Sauté – Sauté the shrimp for about three minutes per side, until pink and completely opaque – this is how you’ll know when they are done.
In the Oven
Prep and Marinate – Set your oven to broil. Marinate your shrimp as listed in steps above.
Line Sheet Pan with Shrimp – Arrange your shrimp on a baking sheet in an even layer – I like to use aluminum foil for easy clean up. A quick spray of olive oil on the foil will help eliminate sticking, too!
Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely. You’re looking for that perfect pink color discussed in the other cooking methods above – it’s so easy!
