Best Shrimp On A Stick Recipes

SHRIMP ON A STICK

Steps:

• Drain pineapple chunks, reserving syrup. Combine soy sauce, sugar, oil, garlic, ginger, pepper, sesame seeds, onions and reserved pineapple syrup in a gallon-size zip-top plastic freezer bag.
• Seal bag tightly and shake to blend thoroughly. Transfer 1 cup of the marinade to a bowl.
• Add shrimp to bag.
• Seal tightly and shake to coat thoroughly.
• Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, but no longer than 4 hours.
• Preheat grill to high.
• Thread wooden skewers, alternating shrimp and pineapple.
• Place on the grill rack 4 to 5 inches from heat source.
• Grill until shrimp is opaque in the center, about 3 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade.

GRILLED GARLIC CAJUN SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers in water 30 min (reduces burning of the sticks). Preheat Grill to med/high (400˚F).
• Combine all marinade ingredients in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat. Pour half of the mixture into a ramekin and leave remaining marinade in pan (You'll brush on half now and brush on remaining marinade after shrimp are grilled).
• Skewer 4 shrimp on each damp skewer without leaving spaces. Lay skewers flat on a rimmed cookie sheet. Brush one side of the skewered shrimp with sauce and refrigerate for 2 min until butter firms up. Flip shrimp over, brush second side and refrigerate 2 min until butter firms up.
• Place skewers on the barbie and grill shrimp with the lid on about 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through and no longer transparent. Remove shrimp from grill. Don't overcook or they will be rubbery. Brush on reserved sauce and serve.

BACON BASIL SHRIMP ON A STICK

Steps:

• Hold a shrimp into a straight position in your left hand (or right hand, if you're left handed). Starting at the tail end, insert a skewer running the length of the shrimp. Place a basil leaf on the "back" (the formerly rounded part) of the shrimp. Wrap the shrimp in bacon, tucking in the ends. Skewer and wrap the remaining shrimp the same way.
• Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
• Arrange the shrimp on a grate, placing an aluminum foil protector under the exposed portion of the skewers to keep them from burning. Grill the kebabs until the bacon is nicely browned and the shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side, 4 to 6 minutes in all, turning the kebabs to ensure even cooking.

SHRIMP ON A STICK

Steps:

• In a large pot heat canola oil to 350 degrees. Slice shrimp 3/4 of the way through the back and fill with jerk paste. Mix the water, baking powder, and 3/4 of the flour to create batter. Dip the shrimp in the remaining flour and then into the batter. Fry the shrimp until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, skewer, drizzle with lemon oil and serve.;
