Tips

  • For a deeper flavor, you can marinate the shrimp for up to 30 minutes. Be careful not to over-marinate, as the acidity in some ingredients can start to 'cook' the shrimp.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can pan-sear the shrimp skewers in a hot, lightly oiled skillet until cooked through.
