Sweet Chili Shrimp Skewers Recipe
Description
This recipe uses peeled and deveined shrimp marinated briefly in minced garlic, Thai sweet chili sauce, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. This combination infuses the shrimp with a blend of sweet, spicy, citrusy, and herbal notes. The shrimp are then placed three per bamboo skewer, making them easy to turn and cook evenly over direct heat on a grill.
Cooking over a hot grill chars the shrimp slightly, adding texture and a smoky undertone while ensuring they are cooked through but still juicy. The tail-on presentation helps keep the shrimp intact and provides a convenient handle for eating.
Soaking bamboo skewers prior to grilling prevents burning and ensures safe cooking. These skewers pair well with light sides or can be served as finger foods at gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. (500g) Shrimp shelled, deveined, tail-on
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Marinate the shrimp with garlic, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Stir to combine well.
- Thread 3 shrimp onto each bamboo skewer. Repeat until you have 10 skewers.
- Fire up the grill and cook the shrimp over direct heat. Grill on both sides until the shrimp are cooked and nicely charred. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 10 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
