Steps

  • 1

    If using bamboo skewers, soak in cold water for 1 hour before grilling.

    Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and set aside.

  • 3

    In a blender, combine the Thai chiles, garlic, Traeger Chicken Rub, sugar, white vinegar, and olive oil and blend into a coarse paste. Note: If a milder flavor is preferred, reduce the number of Thai chiles to taste.

  • 5

    Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and thread the shrimp onto the skewers.

    Place the shrimp skewers directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and firm to the touch. Enjoy!
