Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Use your fingers to peel away the first layer or two from each stalk of lemongrass.
-
Step 2
Cut the stalks into 10- to 12-inch sections. Chop up the remaining lemongrass and add it to your marinade, if you're using one.
-
Step 3
Use a sharp kitchen knife to whittle a point on the small end of each skewer.
-
Step 4
Peel and devein the shrimp.
-
Step 5
Thread the shrimp on the lemongrass stalks by piercing them first through the thick part and then through the smaller part, so the skewer runs through each shrimp twice.
-
Step 6
Thread about four shrimp on each skewer.
-
Step 7
Paint the skewers with the Asian marinade of your choice, if desired, or use teriyaki marinade (see the Related eHow).
-
Step 8
Build a hot grill fire. Cook the shrimp on a hot grill for about 3 minutes, turning only once.
-
Step 9
Serve, using the lemongrass skewers as handles.
