Shatta Shrimp Skewers

Shatta is a deliciously hot and spicy Middle Eastern sauce full of jalapeños and fresh herbs. It’s been used as a marinade here, but it’s also great served as a dip or condiment.

  • 2Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade for the yogurt sauce. Place the shrimp in a resealable bag, pour over the marinade, seal and massage the bag to evenly coat the shrimp. Refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight.
  • 3Whisk the yogurt and reserved marinade together. Cover and refrigerate.
  • 4To prevent the skewers from burning, soak in water for 15 minutes prior to using.
  • 5Evenly divide the shrimp onto each skewer.
  • 6For easy cleaning and to avoid burning, line the roasting pan with foil and place the broiling rack on top. Place the skewers on the rack, evenly spaced apart.
  • 7Insert the wire rack into position 2. Place the skewers in the oven. Set the oven to Broil, High, for 8 minutes and press Start.
  • 8The shrimp should have changed color and be cooked through. If not, broil a little longer.
  • 9Serve the skewers with the yogurt sauce.
