How To Make cajun shrimp skewers on the george foreman grill

  • 1
    Rinse and drain shrimp.
  • 2
    Preheat a grill on medium-high. (I use a George Foreman countertop grill.)
  • 3
    Skewering the shrimp: The first shrimp on each skewer will be skewered twice in order to form a kind of "stopper" to help keep the rest of the shrimp in place. Begin by inserting skewer through tail of shrimp, then insert it through the upper part of the shrimp. (No need to soak skewers.) You want to end up with a curled shrimp on a stick, lol.
  • 4
    Next, skewer nine more shrimp through the center of the belly and on through the back. Pack them together fairly tightly. Repeat process for remaining skewers.
  • 5
    Sprinkle shrimp lightly with cajun seasoning and a bit of salt. Brush with oil or dip in a dish with a little oil in it.
  • Shrimp grilling on indoor George Foreman grill.
    6
    Open grill and place as many shrimp skewers as possible on it, without overcrowding (mine only holds 2.) Close lid, set timer for 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Grilled shrimp kebobs on foil.
    7
    When timer sounds, flip skewers over and set timer for another 1 1/2 minutes. Repeat until all skewers are grilled.
  • 8
    Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over all; garnish as desired. Serve immediately with melted butter or your favorite cocktail sauce on the side.
