These sidestriped shrimp skewers are the simplest dish to make for a summer cookout. Sidestriped shrimp, naturally buttery and sweet, are tossed in an easy lemon butter sauce, enhanced with savory herbs and spices that you probably already have in your kitchen — Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. The skewers take less than 5 minutes to cook on a hot grill.
Alternatively, instead of grilling the sidestriped shrimp on skewers, you can toss them in the lemon butter sauce and cook them in a skillet. Serve them on their own as an appetizer, or toss them onto a fresh salad to turn this dish into a meal.
Note: When grilling with bamboo skewers, you always need to soak the skewers in water for about an hour before placing them over a fire. This will help prevent the skewers from catching fire and charring before the shrimp is done grilling.
