Happy Memorial Day weekend! I am sure many of you are having a cookout, backyard BBQ or picnic with lots of foods. If you are firing up the grill for the first time this season, I have the most amazing shrimp kebab recipes for you!
When it comes to Summer, you can’t have a cookout or BBQ without shrimp. shrimp is the most popular seafood for good reasons: you can make them into mouthwatering shrimp skewers that everyone just can’t stop eating. These garlic butter shrimp kebabs are exactly what you need to please your crowd.
As shrimps are naturally briny and tasty, you need only the simplest ingredients: garlic, butter, lemon juice, pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat, and herb. Coat the garlic butter mixture on the shrimp, thread them on skewers and voila, party is on.
I always get the frozen, shelled and deveined, but tail-on shrimp at Target. They are about $8-$9 per 2 lbs bag. Pick them up this weekend and try my recipes. Have an amazing Memorial Day weekend!

Important Note: The skewers should be soaked in water for 30 minutes before using so they don’t catch on fire.

Why does everyone always say “SHRIMP” scampi? “cos Scampi is Italian for shrimp!! So you can Scampi any seafood! Not just shrimp!!
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Patricia, thanks for letting me know know but this is what Americans call. But I didn’t call this kebab shrimp scampi, it’s just garlic butter shrimp kebab.

Going to try this, but I’ll be using a griddle instead of a grill. Will attempt to reply with photos.

I’m going to make this today but I was wondering can I leave the shrimp in the marinade for a hour or so?
