Tasty Grilled Garlic Shrimp Skewers Recipe

Anybody up for shrimp on a stick? Grilled, slathered with garlic butter, and sprayed with chives, these huge stunning prawns are best party food for a yard picnic.

Here's an idea when barbecuing shrimp. Initially make sure you soak your wood or bamboo skewers (I advise bamboo, they hold up better to heat) in water for at least half an hour. Then set up your grill so you have one side that is hot, and another cool.

Put the shrimp over the hot side, and the exposed skewers over the cool side. That way the shrimp cook quickly and the skewers don't burn.

When you take the shrimp off the grill, immediately brush them with garlic butter, while the shrimp are still hot. The shrimp will take in the garlic butter flavors much better that way.
I do advise you make more of these than you'll believe you require. Due to the fact that although 1 pound of shrimp ought to serve four, you'll wish to eat them all yourself. They're sort of irresistible that way.

Grilled Garlic Shrimp Skewers Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound 16-20 count big prawns, peeled and deveined (can still have tail on for discussion).

Method.

Prepare your grill for direct high heat, with one side of the grill as a cool side with no coals or flame.

While the grill is heating, thread the pre-soaked skewers through the shrimp. Start at the tail and push the skewers through the middle and end of the shrimp. Brush shrimp with olive oil and spray with salt.

Place butter and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave up until the butter has actually melted and is hot. (If you don't have a microwave you can likewise simply melt the butter with the garlic in a little pan on the stovetop.)

Arrange skewers on grill so that the shrimp are over the coals or flame and the exposed bamboo skewer ends are over the cool side of the grill. Grill for about 2 minutes on each side.

As soon as the shrimp are done, get rid of from grill and location in a serving dish. Baste kindly with melted garlic butter. Sprinkle with chives to serve!
