Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp (0.5 oz) / 14g olive oil
  • 32 oz (907 g) medium-sized raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 0.25 tsp (0.05 oz) / 1.5g garlic salt
  • 0.1 tsp (0.02 oz) / 0.5g freshly ground pepper, or to taste
  • 1 cup (8 oz) / 226g keto-friendly mayonnaise
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) 1 large lemon, sliced for garnish
  • Chef's
  • Soak Your Skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes before use. This prevents them from catching fire on the grill.
  • The Mayonnaise Secret: Don't skip the mayo! It locks in moisture, prevents sticking, and helps develop a beautiful, flavorful crust on the shrimp.
  • Watch the Clock: Shrimp cook in minutes. Pull them off the heat the moment they turn opaque and form a C shape. An O shape means they are overcooked.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly grease the grates with olive oil.
  3. Thread 3 to 4 shrimp onto each bamboo skewer, ensuring they all face the same direction for even cooking.
  4. Season the skewered shrimp evenly on both sides with garlic salt and freshly ground pepper.
  5. Using a silicone basting brush, generously and evenly coat both sides of the seasoned shrimp with the keto-friendly mayonnaise.
  6. Place the skewers onto the preheated grill and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque throughout.
  7. Carefully transfer the cooked shrimp skewers to a serving plate and garnish with fresh lemon slices before serving.
  8. Dry the Shrimp: Before seasoning, pat your raw shrimp completely dry with paper towels. A dry surface is key to getting a gorgeous grilled char instead of steaming the shrimp.
