This recipe is summer on a skewer — fresh, fast, and seriously satisfying.
Ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp
Cooking oil with a high-smoking point (we recommend avocado oil)
1-3 tablespoons Frontier Co-op® Prime Cuts Citrus Pepper Blend
Metal or wooden skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to using)
1 lemon, cut in half (optional)
Directions
Peel and de-vein shrimp, keeping tails on. Toss into a large bowl.
Drizzle shrimp with cooking oil, sprinkle Prime Cuts Blend over shrimp and toss until well coated.
String shrimp onto skewers.
Grill shrimp until they reach an opaque pinkish-white color and an internal temperature of 120 degrees. Do not overcook. See below for time and temperature based on grill type.
For an extra pop of flavor, grill lemon cut side down and squeeze generously over finished grilled shrimp.
