Asian Marinated Grilled Shrimp Skewers
Super flavorful and moist grilled shrimp skewers in an Asian-style butter, soy, lime and ginger marinade. They don't need any condiments — flavorful and moist on their own.
Ingredients
| 1 pound | 455 g | large shrimp, shelled and de-veined (tails optional) |
| 3 tbsp | 45 ml | unsalted butter |
| 2 tbsp | 30 ml | soy sauce |
| 2 tsp | 10 ml | lime juice, fresh squeezed |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | ginger, grated |
| 2 cloves | garlic, minced | |
| 1 1/2 tbsp | 23 ml | sugar |
| 2 | green onions, bruised but not chopped |
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except for the shrimp in a saucepan over medium heat. Let come to a simmer, then take off the heat and let cool on the counter.
- Place the shrimp and marinade in a bag or bowl covered in plastic wrap and marinate for at least an hour in the fridge. Try to let it marinate around 3-5 hours but not longer.
- Take the shrimp out of the marinade and place on skewers. If using wooden skewers, let these soak overnight in water.
- Grill over high heat until just cooked. Do not overcook or the shrimp will become rubbery. This will only take about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on how big the shrimp are. You can baste the shrimp with the marinade when they first hit the grill, but after that, toss out the marinade.
- Serve and enjoy! These don't need any condiments — they are super flavorful and moist on their own!
