Sriracha Grilled Shrimp is one of our favorite spicy summer recipes. Tender shrimp is marinated in flavorful sriracha & garlic marinade and grilled to juicy perfection.
This summer seafood favorite is perfect as an appetizer, snack or great tucked into shrimp tacos!

Summer Grilling
Summer is my favorite time of year for making great food on the grill (like Grilled Steak Fajitas). Grilling is easy, delicious and means we don’t have to heat up the house with the oven!
Sriracha Marinade
This marinade is easy to make and it’s a little bit sweet and a little bit spicy!
I start with frozen shrimp (of course fresh works if you have it available in your area) and defrost in the fridge or under really cold water. Peeled & deveined shrimp is easy to make and easy to eat plus it’s better to enjoy the flavor of the marinade.
Marinate the shrimp for 30-60 minutes.
How To Grill Shrimp
The key to keeping shrimp juicy and tender when grilling is to be sure you don’t overcook it.
To Make Spicy Grilled Shrimp Skewers:
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help keep the shrimp from sticking to them and prevent the wood from burning when it hits the grill.
- Marinate the shrimp in all of the ingredients for 30 minutes. Shrimp doesn’t need to marinate long, as it is a light seafood.
- Thread the shrimp on the skewers, and grill for 6-8 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
What To Serve With Grilled Shrimp
Grilled shrimp is perfect with other summer favorites. I love enjoying them with creamy cucumber salad, mojitos, any summer salad – really. They’re perfect in tacos, and as a topper for just about any pasta dish – mainly scampi.
Spicy food is my favorite (you’ll find me adding jalapenos to just about everything I can), but heartburn is always a risk with my favorites. It doesn’t have to stop you from enjoying recipes like this one!
