Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Garlic Butter Sauce: A Flavorful, Succulent Delight

Serve these grilled shrimp skewers immediately while they’re hot and juicy.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on a grill pan.
To prevent the garlic butter sauce from separating, whisk it again before drizzling it over the shrimp if stored.
Variations

Spicy Grilled Shrimp Skewers: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the marinade for a spicy kick.
Herb-Infused Butter: Experiment with other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil in the garlic butter sauce for different flavor profiles.
Grilled Shrimp with Pineapple: Add chunks of pineapple to the skewers for a sweet, tropical twist that complements the savory shrimp and garlic butter.
FAQ

Q: Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?
A: Yes, frozen shrimp work fine, but be sure to thaw them completely before marinating and grilling.

Q: Can I use a grill pan instead of an outdoor grill?
A: Absolutely! A grill pan will work just as well on the stovetop, and you can achieve those delicious grill marks. Just heat the pan and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side.

Q: How do I know when the shrimp are done?
A: Shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque. If they curl into a “C” shape, they’re usually perfectly cooked. Avoid overcooking, as shrimp can become tough.
