Instructions
- 1
Soaking the skewers for at least 20 minutes, totally submerged in water before using them, should prevent them from burning if grilling.
- 2
Heat the gas grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly spray or oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the pan.
- 3
In a medium bowl, combine thyme, garlic, jerk seasoning, olive oil, lemon juice, hot sauce, and soy sauce. Set aside.
- 4
Add shrimp to a large bowl, season with salt, then marinate the shrimp with the jerk mixture.
- 5
Use some marinade to rub on the vegetables, then salt to taste.
- 6
Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, alternating the shrimp with the vegetables. Make sure the front of the skewer is fully covered with vegetables or shrimp.
- 7
Place skewers on grill pan or gas grill.
- 8
Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until vegetables are fully cooked. Serve warm with salad, rice, or creamy orzo.
