Rosemary & Thyme Shrimp Skewers
It is so simple to make these Rosemary & Thyme Shrimp Skewers. Shrimp is the easiest food to cook and it is very low in calories. These can be grilled, broiled or cooked in a pan as I did. We grow some of our own herbs and I used our dehydrated herbs with this recipe. They are very flavorful and if you want to cut back on the herbs or use your own favorite herbs, you certainly can. You also can use fresh herbs instead of dried. These shrimp are marinated in an olive oil and herb mixture before I cooked them.
In a small bowl, combine dry ingredients.
Add the olive oil and mix until the
herbs are all covered in the oil.
Place the herb mixture into a bag and
add the shrimp. Toss the shrimp into
the herb mixture until all of the shrimp are
coated, then refrigerate for 2 – 6 hours.
Place the wooden skewers in a dish
filled with water, making sure the skewers
are completely covered with the water.
This is done so that the skewers don’t burn.
Leave them there until the shrimp
come out of the refrigerator after
marinating them in the herbs and oil.
Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator
and push the skewer through the top
and bottom of each shrimp. Make sure you
don’t put too many shrimp on each skewer
because the shrimp need to cook
flat so that they can cook evenly.
Add the olive oil to a large pan.
Heat the oil over medium heat.
Once hot, place the shrimp skewers in
the oil and cook about 3 minutes each
side or until the shrimp turn pink.
Remove to a plate and serve.

Wow great Diane will give it a try and it is so delicious
Thank you! This is another one of our favorites!
Welcome and yes
These would be perfect for a light menu dinner party! I think your blog is my new cookbook 😀
Aw thank you for the nice compliment! And yes this is a great light dish as my husband and I had it for lunch! So low in calories!
Yum! Love anything with shrimp. Great share – thanks!
You’re welcome!
Looks tasty
Thanks!
Shrimp is a great go-to; just wish it was a bit more affordable, but then again, I’d eat way too much of it, if it were cheaper. I’d probably add a little paprika to the herb mixture (LOVE paprika). Rosemary is great. I have managed to keep my thyme plant alive (shocking). Love having fresh herbs around.
I agree on everything you said! I love my herb garden!
These look good – I’m a little lazy to do this just for myself. 🙂
OMG they cook in 6 minutes, so easy! You don’t even have to use the skewers, just marinate and throw them in a pan.
Maybe I can try that – believe me, I am a real bare-bones cook, as simple as possible.
Sounds delicious!😋
Thank you! They really are!
