Someone once said, Summertime, and the living’s easy. And they were right. It’s summer time. Living’s easy. You’re out back, grilling. You have no dirty dishes to clean up, no pots or pans to wash. Just a grill, you, a beer, and your food. But what should you make? You’ve been making burgers, chicken, and steaks all year. You want something different, something fresh. Something from the sea. Shrimp! you think. Shrimp is what you want. Grilled shrimp. But—another road block—you don’t know how to make it. Fear not. We have a grilled shrimp recipe for you right here that is easy and simple.

For this grilled shrimp recipe, you are going to need the following items. You’ll need a grill, shrimp, bell peppers—that is, the yellow, red, orange, and green kind—as well as a white onion. Also, make sure you have grilling skewers so that you can more easily cook your grilled shrimp.

To begin this grilled shrimp recipe you have to do some preparations before you start cooking. First, you want to start your grill, allow it to warm up so you can more easily clean it. Use a simple brush to clean the grate. If some of the more sticky stuff won’t come off, you can use a little bit of oil on a paper towel to remove it. Also, allow your shrimp to thaw out.

Cut the bell peppers into small cubes for the grilled shrimp recipe, then cut the onion into similar cube shapes. Take your shrimp and vegetables are start skewering them, staggering the shrimp in between pieces of onion and pepper. (An aesthetic tip: if you stagger the colors of your pepper, the ka-bobs will look prettier!)

Once you have your skewers made its time to start cooking this grilled shrimp recipe. Place the skewers on the grill, and cook over low heat, turning them every so often as to get an even cook. You can optionally add barbeque sauce to flavor if you wish. When they are finished remove them, allow them to cool for a minute, then enjoy. See, wasn’t that a quick and easy grilled shrimp recipe?
