So what does it taste like? It’s similar to the shrimp that’s served at the teppanyaki Japanese restaurants where the chefs cook at the table and bang the cooking utensils around putting on a show. I don’t know about you… but my kids LOVE that shrimp. Even my youngest who’s the pickiest eater ever. But this recipe is mad with real food, wholesome ingredients.

How to Make Gluten-Free Garlic Lemon Shrimp Skewers

  1. In a bowl, add shrimp, garlic, olive oil, parsley, black pepper, salt and lemon juice. Mix well, cover and let marinate while in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  2. Remove from the refrigerator and mix well again. Thread shrimp on wooden or metal skewers. 
  3. On a hot grill (about medium-high heat), place shrimp skewers and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side (or until done – shrimp should should be pink). 
  4. Remove from heat and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze on the shrimp. 

It’s so easy to make this recipe. You probably have all the ingredients in your refrigerator and pantry. Enjoy this dish with Gluten-Free Fried Rice and Gluten-Free Chinese Dumplings for an Asian-inspired meal without gluten or processed ingredients.

What to Serve with These Shrimp Skewers

Recipe Modifications

  • Don’t have lemon? Lime will work in a pinch.
  • Add a splash of hot sauce to it to spice it up.
  • Don’t have a grill? Place these shrimp skewers under your oven and set it on broil.

Tips for Making Shrimp Skewers

  • Use fresh lemon – avoid using the pre-bottled lemon juices as they have preservatives in them as well as not tasting as fresh as regular lemon juice. Don’t want to juice lemon for every recipe? Juice a bunch at once and freeze them in an ice cube tray and use as needed.
  • Don’t have fresh shrimp? Simply thaw frozen shrimp ahead of time for this recipe.
