What is Jumbo Shrimp Skewer?
A Jumbo Shrimp Skewer is made by threading large shrimp onto a skewer and cooking them, usually over a grill. The shrimp may be seasoned with lemon, garlic, herbs or a little oil, but the exact marinade varies from one cook to another. Grilling gives them lightly charred edges while keeping the flesh tender and springy.
It works as a seafood main at a barbecue or as part of a shared meal, served hot with lemon, salad, grilled vegetables or rice. The shrimp’s mild sweetness needs little embellishment. It is high in protein and low in fat; pair it with vegetables for a lighter plate, or add bread or rice when you want a more substantial meal.
