Get ready to fall hard for these grilled shrimp skewers. They’re juicy, flavorful, and completely irresistible — the kind of recipe that makes summer dinners feel extra special with minimal effort.

The shrimp get a double dip of love: once in the marinade and again right before serving, which means every bite is packed with flavor. And the best part? They’re ridiculously quick and easy to make, leaving you with plenty of time to do important things — like sitting on the patio with a glass of wine.

Promise me you’ll make these shrimp skewers for dinner soon — they deserve a spot on your grill.

The best shrimp skewer marinade

Shrimp skewers are only as good as the marinade, and this is the best one I’ve found. Want to know how I make it? I thought you might!

First, pick up a container of Roasted Red Pepper Dip. It’s creamy, flavorful, and delicious. In fact, you should probably pick up two containers. They disappear fast. Trust me.

Second, spoon some of the dip onto the shrimp and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and oil.

That’s it! Mix everything and set the shrimp aside to marinate while you chop up the veggies for the skewers.

What to serve with shrimp skewers

These shrimp kebabs make the perfect light summer dinner. They really don’t need anything else to complete the meal. Pour yourself a glass of chilled white wine, grab the nearest deck chair, and soak up the last of the day’s sunshine.

If you want to spend a bit more time in the kitchen, these are some of my favorite summer side dish recipes:

• Bacon Kale Caesar Salad
• Grilled Zucchini Salad with Sunflower Seed Dressing
• Grilled Smashed Potato Salad with Chive Lemon Yogurt
• Smoky Parmesan Corn on the Cob

No matter how you serve them, I know you’ll fall in love with these Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Shrimp Skewers!
