Cooking Tips:

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Don’t overcook the shrimp; they’re done when they turn pink and opaque.

Equipment Needed:

  • Grill
  • Skewers (metal or wooden)
  • Large bowl for marinating

Possible Substitutions:

  • Use dried herbs if fresh are unavailable (use 1/3 the amount).
  • For an oven method, broil the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Replace shrimp with chunks of firm fish or chicken for variation.
