Grilled Shrimp Panzanella Skewers
Description
This recipe assembles jumbo peeled shrimp, thick peach wedges, grape tomatoes, and sourdough bread cubes onto double skewers, starting and ending with shrimp. The skewers are grilled over high heat briefly just until the shrimp turn pink and firm, the bread cubes develop a light char, and the tomatoes soften and burst slightly. This quick grilling imparts smoky, caramelized flavor contrasts while keeping ingredients juicy and fresh.
After grilling, the skewers are garnished with torn fresh basil and drizzled with balsamic vinegar or glaze, delivering aromatic herbal and sweet-acidic highlights. This dish works well as an appetizer or light main served warm.
Wooden skewers should be soaked before use to avoid burning on the grill. The arrangement and balance of ingredients on each skewer allow for varied flavors and textures in every bite, combining grilled seafood with bakery and fresh fruit components.
Ingredients
- 32 Shrimp 18 oz total, jumbo, peeled
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 2 peach large
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 1 sourdough bread cut into 3/4-inch cubes (2 oz, thick slice
- 16 long wooden or metal skewers
- cooking spray
- 1 basil fresh, handful, leaves
- balsamic vinegar for serving, or balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry and season both sides with salt.
- Cut the peaches into thick wedges (6 to 8 per peach, depending on size).
- If using large tomatoes, core them and cut them into wedges approximately the same size.
- Thread the shrimp, peaches, tomatoes, and cubed bread onto doubled skewers, alternating as you like but beginning and ending each skewer with shrimp, for a total of 8 kabobs. Lightly spray with cooking oil.
- Preheat the grill with high heat and oil the grates.
- Grill the kabobs for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink and firm and the bread is lightly charred. The tomatoes may be bursting.
- To serve, place the kabobs on a platter. Thinly slice or tear the basil and sprinkle it over everything with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, soak them for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
