Garlic Butter Shrimp Skewers
These garlic butter shrimp skewers are quickly cooked on your griddle until sweet and buttery. They're an easy camping or weeknight meal that's ready in just 20 minutes.
Equipment
- 4 metal or wooden skewers
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 14 ounces (400 g) jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- Cooking spray or oil for the griddle
- Chopped Italian parsley for serving
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Remove from the heat and divide the garlic butter between two small bowls. Reserve one bowl for serving.
- Thread the shrimp onto skewers.
- Heat a griddle to medium. Coat with cooking spray or brush lightly with oil.
- Lay the skewers on the griddle with a little space between each one. Brush the exposed side with garlic butter.
- Cook until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and brush with more butter. Cook until they are pink and opaque throughout, about 2 minutes more.
- Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the reserved butter, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
-
- Some types of skewers may prevent all of the shrimp from having direct contact with the surface of the griddle. If the shrimp don't have direct contact with the griddle surface while they're cooking, press on them gently.
