Step-by-Step Instructions for Teriyaki Grilled Shrimp Skewers
  1. Begin by soaking your wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, fresh grated ginger, and minced garlic until fully combined.
  3. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and ensure each piece is fully coated. Allow to marinate for 15-30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). Brush the grill grates with a little olive oil.
  5. Carefully thread the shrimp onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  6. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  7. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
