Tips:
- To ensure shrimp is cooked through, make sure to preheat your grill to the correct temperature and cook the shrimp skewers for the recommended amount of time.
- For a smoky flavor, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from burning.
- For a more flavorful marinade, try using a combination of citrus juices, herbs, and spices. You can also add a bit of olive oil or yogurt to help the marinade adhere to the shrimp.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the shrimp skewers in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to flip them regularly so that they cook evenly.
- Serve the shrimp skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a citrus-herb vinaigrette or a creamy avocado sauce.
