This spicy shrimp satay recipe is an entertainers dream – simple to come together, cooks in no time AND it’s delicious! Easy enough for a weeknight, fancy enough for guests.
This happened a few weeks ago. The weather was extremely hot. What was supposed to be a weather of 70F turned out to be 103F in October. Gulp! Thankfully we didn’t have to go outside and, luckily, our place is cool enough even without the air-conditioning. So, to offset the weather outset, a bunch of friends decided to get together for a BBQ party.
As it was rather unplanned and unexpected, we did not have the time to set up a particular theme. So, I decided to bring spicy shrimp satay to the party. This is actually one of the easiest grill recipes that I know of, but still taste good.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Sriracha
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 handful cilantro roughly chopped, plus some minced for garnish
- 1 tsp sugar
- Salt and pepper
- 2 pounds large shrimp peeled and deveined
Instructions
- Combine the Sriracha, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, chopped cilantro, and sugar in a 1-gallon plastic bag. Season aggressively with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and mix together in the bag. Marinate in the fridge for 2 to 4 hours. Or longer.
- Heat a grill to medium-high. Skewer the shrimp (4 to 6 shrimp per skewer) and grill until pink and delicious, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Remove the shrimp from the grill, sprinkle with minced cilantro and enjoy.
This is so wonderful – and perfect for an impromptu get together!
I love shrimp, I can eat it 5 times a week, my husband usually is the one who makes it, he usually sautees it in a lot of garlic and spices on the stove, and we use crusty bread to dip in the sauce 🙂
Oh good grief, you are killing me, Joy! These skewers look like my every dream come true! I love satay and shrimp so I know I will LOVE this!
I love seafood so this made my mouth water so badly! All I can say is super yum! 😀
