For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade. Ensure the wooden skewers are thoroughly soaked in water to prevent them from burning on the grill. Do not overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque. Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or rice for a complete and satisfying meal. Leftover grilled shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, lemon juice, molasses, basil, vegetable oil, Dijon mustard, honey, ground cloves, ranch dressing, chili powder, and minced garlic until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to ensure they are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld. (2 hours)
03
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
04
StepThread the marinated shrimp tightly onto the water-soaked wooden skewers. (15 minutes)
05
StepPlace the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and have slight char marks. (8 minutes)
06
StepRemove the shrimp skewers from the grill and serve immediately. You can use a fork to gently slide the shrimp off the skewers, if desired.

Nov 27, 2024These are great! I will say that even though I soaked the skewers, they still burned a bit. I might try using metal skewers next time.
