Helpful Tips
- For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp for up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of sriracha or substitute it with a milder hot sauce.
- Use metal skewers if you have them to avoid the need for soaking wooden skewers.
- You can substitute shrimp with chicken or tofu for a different twist.
Storage Instructions
- Store any leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat on the grill or in a skillet.
Pairings
- Complement the shrimp skewers with a side of jasmine rice or quinoa salad.
- For drinks, a refreshing limeade or iced tea pairs wonderfully with the spicy flavors.
