How to Make Grilled Shrimp Skewers

These Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Hoisin BBQ Sauce are one of my absolute favorite grilled appetizers too serve at summer cookouts.

The sweet and spicy hoisin glaze is the perfect compliment to the smoky grilled shrimp skewers

Serve the shrimp skewers at your next cookout and the only question people will ask is why you didn’t make more!!

Grilled Shrimp Skewers Cooking Tips

  • Keep the grilling temperature consistent. You don’t need to grill shrimp at super high temperatures.
  • Spray the grill grates before placing the shrimp on the grill to prevent sticking.
  • Keep the grill temp between 375-400 degrees F and the shrimp will come out perfect.
  • Once the shrimp are on the grill don’t touch them for at least 4 minutes. this will also prevent sticking.
  • Soak the wooden skewers for a few hours in water before grilling so they won’t burn on the grill.
  • Grill a few limes along with the shrimp to add a charred citrus flavor and garnish.
