Easy spicy shrimp skewers are a delicious and simple way to enjoy a flavorful and spicy seafood dish. This recipe combines the heat of chili peppers with the aromatic spices of cumin and cardamom, all brought together with a touch of olive oil. Perfect for grilling, these skewers pair the succulent shrimp with fresh zucchini, red peppers, and onion, offering a burst of flavor with every bite.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- To ensure even cooking, cut the zucchini, red peppers, and onion into similar-sized pieces.
- Marinate the shrimp for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat for the best sear and to avoid sticking.
- Use an even distribution of shrimp and vegetables on each skewer for balanced flavor and presentation.
- Brush the skewers with extra marinade during grilling to keep them moist and enhance the flavor.
- Cook shrimp until they are just opaque and pink all the way through, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side.
Easy spicy shrimp skewers are a fantastic choice for a quick and tasty meal that's sure to impress. The blend of spices and the versatility of the vegetables make it a go-to recipe for grilling season. Follow these tips for perfect skewers every time, and enjoy the delightful combination of spice, seafood, and fresh produce.
