Grilled Bang Bang Shrimp Skewers
Description
This recipe features jumbo shrimp arranged on soaked wooden skewers to prevent burning, brushed with oil for grilling. They're grilled over high heat for just a few minutes per side until bright pink and cooked through. A sauce combining mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha is whisked together and generously brushed on the shrimp skewers after grilling to coat both sides.
The shrimp remain juicy and slightly smoky from the grill, while the creamy bang bang sauce brings a spicy-sweet glaze that enhances each bite. Scallions can be used as garnish to add freshness.
Serve the skewers immediately to enjoy the shrimp at their best texture and flavor. The recipe yields about 30 shrimp, fitting about three per skewer. The oil brushing helps prevent sticking to the grill and keeps the shrimp moist.
