Steps:
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add orange concentrate and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then cook until syrupy and reduced to a scant 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Add vinegar and jalapeños; cook 1 minute. Let cool 10 minutes. Set aside 1/4 cup glaze for serving.
- If using wooden skewers, first soak in water 30 minutes, then drain (to prevent burning). Lay 6 shrimp side by side; slide a skewer through head ends to secure together. Thread a second skewer through tail ends. Spread shrimp slightly so there are small gaps between them. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Preheat grill to high; brush grates with oil. Grill bread, flipping once, just until lightly charred and crisp in places, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer to a platter or board; brush with oil.
- Brush shrimp with half of remaining glaze and grill, turning once, until opaque and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Brush with more glaze, turning a few times to caramelize, until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from grill and brush with some of reserved glaze. Serve over grilled bread, with remaining reserved glaze on the side.

Strain liquid into blender with garlic; discard shrimp shells. Puree until mixture is smooth. Cool marinade completely. Mix shrimp and marinade in bowl. Cover; chill 1 1/2 hours. Drain marinade.
- Thread 5 shrimp onto each skewer. Place parsley in shallow dish. Coat 1 side of each shrimp skewer with parsley.
- Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Place skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 shrimp skewers to skillet, parsley side down; cook until shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Wipe out skillet, then spray with more nonstick spray. Repeat with remaining 6 shrimp skewers.
- Spoon barley with greens onto plates. Top with shrimp and serve.
Tips:
- For best results, use large shrimp that are peeled and deveined.
- If you don't have bamboo skewers, you can use metal skewers or even toothpicks.
- To make sure the shrimp cooks evenly, skewer them so that they are evenly spaced apart.
- Don't overcrowd the skewers. If you have too many shrimp on each skewer, they won't cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp skewers over medium heat. If you cook them over too high heat, they will burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.
- Baste the shrimp skewers with the orange-ginger sauce while they are cooking. This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the shrimp skewers immediately with the remaining orange-ginger sauce.
Conclusion:
Orange-ginger shrimp skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful orange-ginger sauce and then grilled to perfection. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
