All the veggies and shrimp to make this grilled shrimp skewers recipe with a container of Summer Fresh Roasted Red Pepper Dip.

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 and flavorful and all things delicious. In fact, you should probably pick up 2 containers. They disappear fast. Trust me.

Second, spoon some of the dip onto the shrimp and add a little salt, pepper, paprika, and oil.

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

How to make this grilled shrimp skewers recipe

Once you have your shrimp marinating in Roasted Red Pepper Dip, there are only 3 little steps left before you eat.

  1. Chop your veggies. I like to keep them roughly the same size as the shrimp I'm using so they grill nicely. Also, bigger veggies take longer to cook which means you'll risk overcooking the shrimp. You can use the peppers, zucchini, and red onion combo I've gone for, or use your favorite veggies. There are no right or wrong answers here.
  2. Skewer the veggies and marinated shrimp. I like to use metal shish kebab skewers, but wooden ones work well, too. If you have wood skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 15 minutes before using them so they don't burn on your BBQ.
  3. Grill your shrimp kebabs. 8-10 minutes on your BBQ is the sweet spot. Flip them halfway through so they get nice grill marks on each side.

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!
