How To Grill Shrimp Skewers
Here’s a tip when grilling shrimp.
Then set up your grill so you have one side that is hot, and another cool.
Put the shrimp over the hot side, and the exposed skewers over the cool side.

That way the shrimp cook quickly and the skewers don’t burn.
The shrimp will absorb the garlic butter flavors better that way.
I do recommend you make more of these than you’ll think you need.

Because even though 1 pound of shrimp should serve four, you’ll want to eat them all yourself.
They’re sort of irresistible that way.

Other Ways To Cook Shrimp Skewers
No grill, or too cold out to bother?

you might still make these shrimp skewers.
If you brine the shrimp, skip seasoning them with salt as directed in Step 2.
We recommend leaving the tails on the shrimp for a nice presentation.

While the grill is heating, thread the pre-soaked skewers through the shrimp.
Start at the tail and push the skewers through the middle and end of the shrimp.
Brush shrimp with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Grill for about 2 minutes on each side.
As soon as the shrimp are done, remove from grill and place in a serving dish.
Baste generously with melted garlic butter.

Sprinkle with chives to serve!
