Grilled Shrimp Skewers
April 02, 2024
When everyone else is starry-eyed over blooming flowers and warming temperatures, my mind turns to one thing: grilling. Whether you’re rocking gas or charcoal, stainless steel pro style or rolling patio grill, “shrimp on the barbie” is a classic. Maybe it’s the beautifully seared-in lines or just the awesome range of dipping sauces available, but I’m 100% convinced that grilled shrimp just tastes better than its pan-fried counterparts.
This easy grilled shrimp skewers recipe is a convenient go-to for family dinners and backyard BBQs. Marinated in Asian-inspired Sesame Ginger Dressing and basted with melted butter, it comes together with just six minutes of cooking time on a preheated grill. But the best part of this quick recipe might just be the dipping sauce. Made with real ingredients and no seed oils, Primal Kitchen Yum Yum Dipping Sauce has that signature sweet-meets-umami flavor I’m obsessed with from my favorite hibachi restaurant. Pair your shrimp skewers with cauliflower fried rice, grilled veggies, or gluten-free rice noodles drizzled with extra sauce.

Marinated in a savory sesame ginger vinaigrette and paired with yum yum sauce for dipping and drizzling, this mouthwatering grilled shrimp is a family favorite. It’s giving hibachi restaurant vibes without the cane sugar, corn syrup, or artificial sweeteners.
Ingredients
- 20 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
-
1 cup Primal Kitchen Sesame Ginger Dressing, for marinating
- 2 tsp melted butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Primal Kitchen Yum Yum Dipping Sauce, for serving
Directions
Rinse and drain raw peeled shrimp in a colander. Place shrimp in a medium container and pour the sesame ginger dressing on top. Toss shrimp lightly to ensure it’s well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight).
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium.
- Thread 5 shrimp onto each skewer. (If using bamboo/wood skewers, be sure to soak them in water before adding shrimp.)
- Lightly oil your grill grate. Grill shrimp directly on the grate for 5-7 minutes, turning halfway, until shrimp turns opaque and light pink-orange.
- In a small bowl, microwave butter for 30 seconds or until melted. Use a basting brush to lightly brush both sides of each shrimp skewer with butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve with Primal Kitchen Yum Yum Sauce for dipping, and enjoy!
