Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb shrimp (jumbo, peeled, deveined)
1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp dill
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 garlic cloves
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 bunch asparagus
1 red onion
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp dill (dried)
1/4 tsp oregano (dried)
2 cloves garlic

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients (except the shrimp) and whisk together to form the marinade.
  • Toss the shrimp in the marinade. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to marinate.
  • Skewer the shrimp on wooden or metal skewers. If using an outdoor grill, soak your skewers in water to soften them. If using a grill pan, this is unnecessary.
  • Cook on a grill pan or grill on medium high heat, flipping once until cooked through.
  • Wash the vegetables. Trim the end off the asparagus.
  • Chop the onion into large chunks, big enough to skewer. Chop the asparagus into 1.5-2" pieces.
  • Combine all ingredients (except the vegetables) in a small bowl to form the vinaigrette.
  • Skewer the vegetables on wooden or metal skewers, alternating and creating a pattern. If using an outdoor grill, soak your skewers in water to soften them. If using a grill pan, this is unnecessary.
  • Place the skewers in a dish and pour the vinaigrette on top.
  • Let the vegetables sit until you are ready to cook them.
  • Grill the vegetables until cooked (if using a grill pan, cook for about 10 minutes, covering with a lid and flipping frequently).
  • Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette from the bowl on top of the cooked skewers before serving.

VEGETABLE (OR SHRIMP) SATAY SKEWERS



Vegetable (or Shrimp) Satay Skewers image

Not only a great meal, shrimp satay is fun finger food and a super addition to any party tray. Use leftover peanut sauce, thickened with tangy black bean sauce and livened up with hot sauce and you've got a great dip for skewered shrimp. The sauce is perfect with vegetables too. I like to serve this dish with Asian noodles or rice and snap peas on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm and have a bright, translucent appearance.
  • Soak the skewers in water before using: This will help to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Skewer the shrimp and vegetables tightly: This will help to keep them from falling off the skewers while cooking.
  • Brush the skewers with olive oil or melted butter before grilling: This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the skewers over medium heat: This will help to cook the shrimp through without overcooking them.
  • Turn the skewers frequently while grilling: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the skewers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include lemon-herb butter, tzatziki sauce, or a simple vinaigrette.
