These Baked Shrimp Skewers are a go-to in our house when we want something quick, tasty, and a little bit summery, no matter what time of year it is!

Grilled shrimp skewers are always a hit, but when the weather’s not playing along, or I don’t feel like fussing with the BBQ, the oven is my best friend.

These skewers are perfect for busy weeknights, as they take just a few minutes to bake in the oven. But they’re just as good for casual entertaining, I mean everyone loves shrimp!! Add a side salad, some crusty bread, and maybe a little dipping sauce on the side and you have an easy, relaxed yet elegant dinner.

Roasting the shrimp in the oven keeps them tender and juicy, and if you line your tray with foil or parchment paper, there is hardly any cleanup. (I always do as easy cleanup is pretty much as important as easy cooking!).

Just pop the skewers on a lined baking tray and let the oven do the work while you lay the table or pour a glass of something delicious! (The second option will greatly enhance your evening, but first is kind of important too!)
