Grilled garlic ginger shrimp are great as a main dish or as an appetizer. They are super simple to make and take just minutes to prepare.
When I made these grilled garlic ginger shrimp, I was feeling fancy. So, I made them along side Dungeness crab cakes and some vegetables. It was a seafood frenzy. The garlic ginger shrimp are made with just a few ingredients.
The shrimp are marinated for a little while. Thread them through wooden skewers and grill for just a few minutes on each side. That’s it. Tasty and simple. They are delicious cold too, next day on a salad.
Grilled Garlic Ginger Shrimp
What you’ll need
- 1 lb of cleaned, shelled and deveined shrimp
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or extra virgin oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
- ½ a lemon juiced
- Splash of soy sauce
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper or red chili pepper flakes
- 4 – 5 skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a medium bowl. Mix it up, coating all the shrimp. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for at least one hour.
- When you’re ready to cook, thread about 5 shrimp on each skewer. Make sure your grill is hot, clean and prepared for your shrimp. These cook fast…only about 3 minutes a side. They’re ready when they turn rosy pink. Serve with rice and your favorite vegetable or a side salad.
