- 1 tablespoon of water
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Preparation
Marinating the Shrimp:
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Temperature: Refrigerate at 4°C
Time: 30 minutes
Preparing the Cola Sauce:
In a saucepan, combine the cola, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Temperature: Medium heat
Time: 10 minutes
Grilling the Shrimp Skewers:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Temperature: Medium-high heat
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each shrimp. This will ensure even cooking.
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Baste the skewers with the cola sauce during grilling to enhance the flavor.
Temperature: Medium-high heat
Time: 2-3 minutes per side
Finishing the Cola Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering cola sauce, stirring continuously. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Temperature: Simmering
Time: 2 minutes
Serving:
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the finished cola sauce over the skewers or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for an added touch of freshness.
These Delicious Shrimp Skewers with Cola Sauce are best enjoyed immediately while they are still hot and juicy. Serve them as an appetizer or as a main course accompanied by a side of rice or a fresh salad.
