How to Make Teriyaki Shrimp on the Blackstone Griddle
Step One: Combine shrimp with half of the teriyaki sauce in a bowl, coating well. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to marinate. Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
Step Two: Alternate threading shrimp, bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and pineapple onto the skewers.
Step Three: Heat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high and lightly oil it. Grill skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing with remaining sauce in the last 2 minutes.
Blackstone Teriyaki Shrimp Recipe Tips
- Marinate for Flavor: Let the shrimp sit in teriyaki sauce for at least 15 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
- Grill Evenly: Ensure the shrimp are threaded evenly onto the skewers for uniform grilling.
- Customize Vegetables: Feel free to add or swap vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or pineapple for extra flavor.
- Watch Cooking Time: Shrimp cook quickly, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
Storing
- Storing: Store leftover Blackstone Teriyaki Shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make sure the shrimp cool down completely before storing.
- Freezing: For longer storage, freeze cooked shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
- Reheating: Reheat the shrimp gently on a low-heat griddle or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, adding a little extra teriyaki sauce if needed to maintain moisture.
What To Serve With Blackstone Teriyaki Shrimp
Blackstone Teriyaki Shrimp pairs beautifully with a variety of sides that balance its rich, savory flavor. Serve with steamed rice or jasmine rice for a light, fluffy base, and add grilled vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra color and crunch.
A simple green salad or sautéed spinach also complements the shrimp, providing freshness to contrast the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce. For a more indulgent side, try garlic butter noodles or crispy fried rice to round out the meal.
