A delightful recipe for shrimp skewers with a sweet and tangy glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining them, leaving the tails intact if desired.
Using fresh shrimp enhances the flavor and texture of the dish.
Thread the shrimp and pineapple chunks alternately onto skewers.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
In a bowl, mix the apricot jam, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and rice vinegar to create the glaze.
Warm the jam slightly for easier mixing.
Brush the skewers with the glaze, reserving some for later.
Ensure the glaze coats all sides of the skewers evenly.
Place the skewers on a broiler pan and broil for 3 minutes.
Keep an eye on the skewers to prevent overcooking.
Turn the skewers over, brush with more glaze, and broil for an additional 3 minutes or until cooked through.
Shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque.
Serve the skewers hot, brushing with the reserved glaze for extra flavor.
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like cilantro for a burst of freshness.
