Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ¼ cup (60ml) coconut milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon (3-4g) garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon (1g) thyme
- 1 teaspoon (2-3g) onion powder
- ½ teaspoon (3g) salt
- ½ teaspoon (1-2g) chicken bouillon powder (or ¼ teaspoon salt)
- ¼ teaspoon (<1g) cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers submerged in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning. Skip this step if using metal skewers.
- Heat the grill to medium-high. If using a grill pan, lightly spray or oil it to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
- Mix garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, cayenne pepper, coconut milk, and bouillon powder in a medium bowl.
- Thread about three shrimp onto each skewer, covering the skewer with shrimp.
- Brush the skewered shrimp with the coconut milk spice mixture on both sides. Place the skewers on the grill or grill pan.
- Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and fully cooked. Serve hot with vegetables and rice or dipping sauce.
Notes
- Avoid marinating the shrimp for longer than 5-10 minutes, or it could get tough.
- Feel free to use two skewers per kebab to keep the shrimp in place when turning them on the grill.
- Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
