Instructions

Preparation

  • Rinse the shrimps and let drain or pat dry.
    1.5 lbs shrimp
  • Add some olive oil, salt, and black pepper and mix thoroughly.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pass the shrimps through the skewers, leaving a little space between them.

How to make grilled shrimp skewers on the grill

  • Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and brush some of the barbecue sauce on both sides.
  • Grill the shrimps for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the shrimps are done and no longer pink.
  • Add as much spicy barbecue sauce as you like.
    2 tablespoon keto spicy BBQ sauce
  • Serve and enjoy!

How to make grilled shrimp skewers in the oven

  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  •  Line a baking sheet with some foil paper, then place the shrimp skewers on the baking sheet.
  • Cook for 15 minutes or until done, flipping halfway.
  • Coat with extra BBQ sauce.

Notes

  • Your cooking time will vary on your grill and also the size of the shrimp. You'll have to watch them closely so they do not burn.
  • To save time, I buy shrimps peeled and deveined. It might be cheaper to buy it intact and peel it yourself, but I like to save time when I can.
  • If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 mins before use to keep them from burning on the grill.
  • Since raw shrimp keeps for 1-2 days, prep the skewers the day before a big party for easy grilling.
  • Serve with lemon wedges for lemon juice, or add some lime juice for a pop of fresh citrus flavor.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce or some soy sauce for extra flavor.
