Grilled Shrimp Skewers by Feel Good Foodie

Grilled Shrimp Skewers are a must-have if you're planning a Memorial Day cookout this year! Quick and easy to prepare, these delicious shrimp skewers are marinated in a lemon and herb dressing, making them a delightful addition to your picnic spread. 

To make these skewers, start by peeling and deveining the shrimp. The tails can stay on for presentation points, or you can remove them if you prefer. Then, mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl before adding the shrimp and coating them evenly with the marinade. It works best if you use your hands to ensure even coating. 

Now, here's the pro tip: don't marinate the shrimp for more than two hours, or the acid from the lemon juice could start to cook the shrimp before they even hit the grill! Speaking of the grill, if you don't have one, don't worry. You can broil the skewers in the oven. Place them on a sheet pan, coat with cooking spray, and broil for a few minutes on each side. But be watchful and don't overcook them! 

And that's it — juicy, flavorful Grilled Shrimp Skewers that are sure to impress. So go ahead, add them to your Memorial Day picnic menu and get ready to delight your guests!
