Instructions
- If using wooden skewers soak in water for 30 minutes before beginning.
- Preheat grill to 400°F. Clean grates and spray with nonstick cooking spray or rub oil on grates.
- Place shrimp in a medium size bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice, cajun seasoning and garlic. Gently toss shrimp until they are all covered in oil and seasoning.
- Thread shrimp on skewers and place them on hot grill and cook for 3 minutes. Flip shrimp and cook for additional 2-3 minutes, until cooked through. Shrimp are done cooking when they curl around skewers and are no longer translucent. Serve immediately.
Notes
Storage: We prefer to enjoy these shrimp when they’re fresh off of the grill. However, you can store any leftovers you have in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just make sure that the shrimp have cooled to room temperature prior to storing.
