Garlic Butter Grilled Shrimp Skewers Recipe

This Garlic Butter Grilled Shrimp Skewers Recipe is perfect for a quick dinner!! Shrimp is just one of those foods that’s perfect for any time of the year.  My favorite way to make shrimp is grilling them up on skewers. Quite often we do surf and turf night at the house and shrimp skewers are a go too for us!  (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

This is such an easy way to make shrimp it takes next to no time to prep or to cook.  It pairs up perfectly with my Grilled Flank Steak Pinwheels that were a bit more complicated to make up for dinner.  However it was the perfect addition to the meal or any steak dinner.

How To Grill Garlic Butter Grilled Shrimp Skewers:

If your shrimp came from frozen start to run them under cold water to help to thaw them out.  (I will typically buy frozen shrimp to have on hand)  Now I love ordering from Omaha Steaks! I was surprised to learn they also have seafood!! You can order shrimp and have it delivered to your door!  (See the options -> here)

In a microwavable container scoop about 4 tbsp of butter, 1 tbsp minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.

Melt the butter combination in the microwave, be sure to pass and stir often to avoid a splatter blow up.

Turn a pan onto low heat and add in your shrimp and butter.  (I reused my pan from making bacon and asparagus so I had a bit of bacon grease still hot in the pan for flavor)

Now seriously when it comes to cooking anything on the stove this pan is my go!  I love that it can hold large amounts and also be covered.  In this case, I could stir my shrimp around without them falling off the frying pan (been there done that several times).  You can order one right off Amazon to make your cooking easier and not so messy.

Next put them onto your wooden skewers to throw on the grill! I keep these on hand at all times for grilling and for making drinks! They are perfect for last-minute BBQs to for making kabobs.

Sauce To Go With Garlic Butter Grilled Shrimp Skewers:

While I am prepping these I made up a white wine sauce to pair up with the whole meal! In a pan on the stovetop in a pan combine a jar of 4 cheese Alfredo sauce, 1/4 jar of white wine (I put my wine in the jar and then closed it gave it a good shake to get all the Alfredo sauce out of the jar).

Next, season with salt and pepper and allow to simmer while your steak is on the grill!

What To Serve With Garlic Butter Shrimp Skewers:

• Grilled Flank Steak Pinwheels
• Grilled Teriyaki Steak Kabobs
• Hibachi Fried Rice

Once your shrimp (and other food if you choose to make it) drizzle the wine sauce on the plate and then serve it up. What’s your go-to for making shrimp?
