How To Prepare The Tri-Tip and Shrimp Boil Skewers
The recipe starts by preparing the vegetables on the grill, giving them a smoky and slightly charred taste. Baby potatoes and shucked corn are tossed in oil and cooked until parboiled and just fork tender, infusing them with a delightful texture and flavour. The addition of minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, Creole seasoning, and Cajun seasoning provides a zesty and aromatic punch to the dish, complementing the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
Once the vegetables are ready, the shrimp, tri-tip, corn, and potatoes are carefully threaded onto skewers, creating a visually appealing presentation. These skewers are then grilled to perfection, with the corn becoming tender and the shrimp turning opaque and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F, ensuring both taste and food safety. While the skewers cook, a delightful garlic butter sauce is prepared by combining melted butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and a touch of black pepper. This buttery mixture adds richness and a burst of flavour to the skewers, enhancing the overall taste and juiciness of the meat and vegetables. Basted on both sides, these Tri-Tip and Shrimp Boil Skewers are now ready to be served, offering a delectable and satisfying meal that combines the best of seafood and meat in every bite.
This recipe is ideal for summer due to its vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients. The combination of grilled shrimp, tender tri-tip, and seasonal vegetables brings a burst of summertime goodness to every bite. Whether enjoyed at a backyard barbecue or a sunny picnic, these Tri-Tip and Shrimp Boil Skewers embody the essence of the season and are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleasing delight during those warm summer months.
