Instructions
Marinate the ShrimpStart by marinating the shrimp with all the items given under the marinade list, in a bowl. Toss until fully coated. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15-30 minutes. The longer, the better, as this allows the shrimp to soak up the flavors.
Prepare the SkewersIf you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent them from burning while grilling. Thread the marinated shrimp onto each skewer, make sure its neat and flat for even cooking.
Pan-Grill the ShrimpHeat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with olive oil. Once the pan is hot, place the shrimp skewers onto the grill pan. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and inside looks opaque.The skin can get slightly charred. Brush with a cube of butter for the rich taste and aroma.Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp become rubbery when overdone.
Garnish and ServeOnce cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped spring onion or parsley. Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Pan sear pineapple slices in the same pan to soak up all the flavors, Serve along with shrimp skewers.
Make the dipping sauce by mixing all the ingredients given under the list adjust thickness as required. Serve along with shrimp on the side.
