Shrimp Teriyaki Skewers Recipe with Vegetables

Previously our chicken teriyaki skewers with Pineapple and our chipotle Shrimp skewers were so popular, we realized we wanted to test our a teriyaki shrimp recipe on skewers too. And boy, we’re so glad we did. The teriyaki sauce on the shrimp is fantastic, especially when it’s cooked to a nice crisp and char on the grill. If you’re a seafood lover and looking for a great Summer shrimp recipe to cook on the grill or bbq, this shrimp teriyaki skewers recipe is it! The sweet pineapple and veggies cooked in the teriyaki sauce is great, combined with the smoky char of the wonderful shrimp teriyaki skewers. Sometimes grilling isn’t always just about red meat and grilling shrimp kebabs is a ways to celebrate seafood on the grill! Add a few of these skewers to some rice, on top of a green salad or with a side of potato salad or coleslaw.

Favorite Grilling Skewers & Other Awesome Grill & BBQ Stuff:

Here’s some of the favorites for grilling skewers and beyond:

Stainless Steel Kebab Skewers: Our skewer go-to. No more soaking to keep the skewers from burning. The flat edge makes flipping easy.
Grilling Wire Skewers– The flexibility of the wire skewers makes it easy to wrap the skewers onto the best part of the grill. Perfect for skewers you are going to remove from the skewer after grilling and serve plated or in tacos or other delicious dishes.
Grill Baskets – Some days we just don’t want to bother with skewering every single thing. Throw them all into a basket and grill from there. Easy-peasy.

The Ultimate BBQ Tongs –
Avoid BBQ Tool Sets. We’ve yet to find a set where we love everything in it. Either the spatula or the tongs or the brush is wonky. Or there is stuff in there I never need. Do yourself a favor and just buy what you need a la carte. For grilling tongs, these bad boys are awesome.
Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling –
Have a grilling or BBQ question, you’ll most likely find an answer here. The most comprehensive grilling & BBQ book we’ve ever found, by far. He breaks down the science and myths, the tools, solid recipes, perfecting techniques, what’s BBQ competition tricks aren’t worth the extra time at home, and much more. You will be grill & BBQ enlightened.
Oasity BBQ Light –
Grilling should never be confined to the daylight. Love this BBQ light. Good brightness, solid magnets plus clamp option. We’ve gone through 1/2 dozen different grilling lights before falling in love with this one. Be ready to grill all night long.

Oklahoma Joe’s Reverse Flow Offset Smoker –
Love this offset smoker. Solid construction. Isn’t perfect, but with a couple easy modifications it will smoke as well as the $1k + smokers. Can use the main chamber also as a regular charcoal grill. Love using it as a regular grill using lump charcoal or briquettes. Huge cooking surface.
Charbroil 4-burner Gas Grill –
One of the best for the money. Solid gas grill! Nothing like the quick convenience of a good gas grill.
OXO Large Silicon Basting Brush –
Love these basting brushes. Clean up easy, holds a solid amount of sauce. They are our basting go-to’s.

Grilled Teriyaki Shrimp & Veggie Skewers

Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
If using wood or bamboo skewers, soak the skewers completely in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help minimize the wood/skewers from burning. There’s lots of veggie options, so add what ever you like. We loved having pineapple, zucchini and onion.
