Bangin' Grilled Shrimp Skewers
Description
This recipe begins by creating a sauce mixing light mayonnaise with finely chopped scallions, Thai sweet chili sauce, and sriracha for a mild kick. Shrimp are seasoned lightly with fresh cracked pepper and threaded onto soaked wooden skewers to prevent burning. Grilled over medium heat, the shrimp cook quickly to an opaque finish, developing slight caramelization without overcooking.
Once removed from the grill, the shrimp are brushed with the prepared sauce, which adds glossy flavor and a creamy, slightly spicy coating. These skewers work well as appetizers or paired with sides for a light main course, delivering a combination of textures and balanced heat from the sriracha and chili sauce.
