Campfire cooking is the perfect way to indulge in your favorite dishes while enjoying the great outdoors if you’re a seafood lover and enjoy cooking over an open flame. One easy and flavorful campfire recipe to try is shrimp skewers. With just a few simple ingredients and wooden skewers, you can create a delicious meal that will satisfy your taste buds and impress your fellow campers. Here’s how to make easy and flavorful shrimp skewers over a campfire.
Ingredients:
– 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of paprika
– 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing your campfire. Make sure you have a nice bed of hot coals to cook over. If you’re using a portable grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.
2. Mix the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well to create a marinade for the shrimp.
3. Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until they are well-coated. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
4. Throw them onto the wooden skewers while the shrimp is marinating. Leave a little space between each shrimp to ensure even cooking.
5. Once your campfire or grill is ready, place the shrimp skewers directly over the heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rigid and rubbery.
6. Remove the shrimp skewers from the heat and let them rest for a minute before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and ensure maximum flavor.
7. Serve the shrimp skewers hot off the grill with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside some grilled vegetables for a complete campfire meal.
Campfire cooking doesn’t have to be complicated, and these easy and flavorful shrimp skewers are proof of that.
