SHRIMP TERIYAKI KABOBS

You can add bell pepper or onion to these kabobs. I served them at a party so I used the 21-25 count shrimp and they were devoured. Can be an appetizer or a main dish, depending on your presentation.

Time 23m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb large shrimp, shelled and deveined (I used 21-25 per pound)
1/3 cup teriyaki marinade (homemade or bottled)
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 -2 garlic clove, finely minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks (I used the chunks in pineapple juice, not heavy syrup)

Steps:

  • In a large zip-lock bag combine teriyaki sauce, onion, garlic, sugar, zest and a splash of pineapple juice from the chunks.
  • Add shrimp and toss to coat.
  • I let them set in the fridge all day till I was ready to skewer them to grill.
  • Be sure and soak your skewers if you are using wood!
  • Place a pineapple chuck in the curve of each shrimp and place on a skewer, going through the "head" of the shrimp, the pineapple and then the "tail".
  • I was able to get about 4 on each skewer.
  • Grill about 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp is pink.
  • You can baste with the marinade if you want but I did not.
  • You can also broil this if you don't have a grill.
  • I removed from the skewers for my guests but would probably serve on skewers if I had fancy ones.

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 20

FOR THE MARINADE
1 c low sodium soy sauce
1 c pineapple juice
3/4 c sugar
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp vinegar
3 Tbsp sesame oil
1/3 c dried onion flakes
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
FOR THE KABOBS
1 lb steak
1 lb large raw shrimp
1 lb small cremini mushrooms
1 large green bell pepper
1 large red bell pepper
1 large `yellow bell pepper
2 medium onions, cut in quarters
1 pt cherry tomatoes
6 skewers, if using wood skewers soak them for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the steak into 1 inch cubes. Peel and devein the shrimp. Cut the peppers into 1 inch pieces.
  • 2. In a bowl mix all marinade ingredients until well blended.
  • 3. Split the marinade evenly between 2 large resealable bags.
  • 4. Add the shrimp and steak to one bag and the vegetables to the other.Seal the bags.
  • 5. Turn the bag to coat and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, turning occasionally.
  • 6. Preheat the grill to medium high. Drain the marinade and discard.
  • 7. On metal or soaked wood skewers, thread the steak, shrimp, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes and peppers alternately.
  • 8. Place the skewers on the grate of the grill and cook turning ever 4 minutes until steak is cooked to desired doneness.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Look for shrimp that are fresh and firm, with a translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar will help to tenderize them and add flavor.
  • Use bamboo skewers. Bamboo skewers are the best type of skewer to use for shrimp teriyaki kabobs, as they are strong and will not burn.
  • Cook the shrimp on a hot grill. This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the shrimp and keep them juicy on the inside.
  • Serve the shrimp teriyaki kabobs with a dipping sauce. A simple dipping sauce made with soy sauce, mirin, and sake is a great way to add extra flavor to the shrimp.

Conclusion:

Shrimp teriyaki kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful teriyaki sauce, then grilled and served on skewers. These kabobs are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a light meal.
