Blackstone Teriyaki Shrimp Skewers
Description
Sweet-and-savory Blackstone Teriyaki Shrimp skewers cook in under 15 minutes on the griddle. Tender shrimp are glazed in teriyaki sauce and threaded with bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and pineapple for an easy weeknight dinner or party appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce, divided
- 2 large bell peppers, red, yellow, or green, cut into large chunks
- 1 large red onion, cut into large chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley, optional for garnish
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil, for the griddle
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with half of the teriyaki sauce until fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning (skip if using metal skewers).
- Alternate threading the shrimp, bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and pineapple onto the skewers.
- Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high and brush lightly with oil. Cook the skewers 4 to 5 minutes per side, basting with the remaining teriyaki sauce during the last 2 minutes.
- Cook until the shrimp are opaque and curled into a loose "C." Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh herbs, then serve with rice or salad.
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Cooking Oil
- Wooden or Metal Skewers
Notes
- Don't marinate longer than about 30 minutes; the shrimp can turn mushy.
- For lower sodium, use low-sodium teriyaki or brush sauce on at the end instead of marinating.
- Shrimp cook fast, so pull them at a loose "C" to keep them tender.
