How to Make Shrimp Kabobs
Making these incredible grilled lemon pepper shrimp kabobs is easier than you think. Here's how to make them at home step by step:
Begin by soaking wooden skewers in a bowl of water for 15 minutes. This will prevent them from burning on the grill. Then take the frozen shrimp and place in a separate bowl filled with cold water. Allow to thaw completely before proceeding.
Once thawed, rinse the shrimp several times under cold running water. This will remove any excess ice and make sure that they are clean.
Now, allow the water to drain from the shrimp before moving on to the next step. You can gently shake them in a colander to remove any excess water.
Next, drizzle the shrimp with a generous amount of olive oil, making sure they are well coated. This will help prevent them from sticking to the grill. Sprinkle the measured-out seasonings evenly over the shrimp.
Use your hands or a spoon to mix the seasonings into the shrimp, and make sure that they are evenly coated.
Take a lemon and cut it in half. Then, slice the lemon into thin slices. These slices will be used to add a touch of citrus flavor to the shrimp.
Now, take two of the soaked skewers or clean metal skewers and thread the shrimp and lemon slices onto them. Alternate between shrimp and lemon to create a visually appealing and flavorful skewer. Preheat your grill to a low heat setting. This will guarantee that the shrimp cooks evenly without burning.
Carefully place the skewers onto the preheated grill. Allow them to cook on one side for approximately 8 minutes.
Using tongs, carefully flip the skewers over to cook the other side. Cook for an additional 7-8 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a platter. Make sure to serve them immediately while they are still delicious and hot.
