1/4 thinly sliced green onion (optional)
SKEWER ACCOMPANIEMENTS
pineapple chunks, fresh

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, large shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm and have a translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are brown or have black spots.
  • Skewer the shrimp properly: To prevent the shrimp from falling off the skewers, skewer them through the tail end and out through the head.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to enhance their taste.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium heat: This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque: The shrimp are cooked when they are no longer translucent and have turned opaque. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp are best served hot off the grill. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.
