Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Using metal skewers is ideal as they don't burn. However, if you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the shrimp to prevent burning.
  • If possible, use fresh herbs for the marinade, as they impart a richer flavor than dried herbs.
  • Avoid marinating the shrimp for too long, as the acidity from the lemon juice can start to cook the shrimp.
  • I would avoid the smoke setting for the shrimp as the smoke would overwhelm the delicate flavor of the shrimp.
