A delightful recipe for grilled shrimp skewers, enhanced with a flavorful garlic butter and spice rub.
Prepare the spice rub by combining the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin in a small bowl.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers, placing them close together.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
Cook the garlic on low heat to avoid burning and achieve a mellow flavor.
Brush one side of the shrimp with half of the garlic butter and sprinkle with half of the spice rub.
Apply the seasoning evenly for consistent flavor.
Grill the shrimp for 3 minutes on one side, then flip, brush with the remaining garlic butter, and sprinkle with the remaining spice rub.
Ensure the grill is preheated to medium-high heat for optimal cooking.
Serve the shrimp skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a wedge of lemon if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the shrimp at their best flavor and texture.
