There aren’t that many dinners that not only impress everyone but also take only minutes to make. This shrimp dish is one of them! I always prepare this dish for last minute get togethers. They go well with this Detox Cabbage and Carrot Salad with Carrot Ginger Miso Dressing and Vegan Kung Pao Cauliflower.

How to Make Baked Shrimp Skewers with Vegan Aji Verde Sauce

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. While the oven is heating up prepare the shrimp by deveining and cleaning them. To make this recipe easier I like buying shrimp that has already been cleaned.

You can usually buy these fresh or frozen. Just make sure you don’t buy the precooked shrimp since they’ll likely dry out in the oven. If you have to use frozen precooked shrimp only put them in the oven for about 4 minutes.

Step 2: Once the shrimp have been prepped put four or five of them through a skewer. I like putting the skewer through the tail end and the top of the shrimp to make sure they are secure. Line the kabobs on a foil lined baking sheet. Lightly coat them with oil and season with salt and pepper. and place in the oven for 7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Or until the shrimp are opaque.

Step 3: Make the sauce: Add the cilantro (stems included), parsley leaves, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, tahini, garlic and water to the blender. Slice the jalapeño and remove the seeds, add it to the blender as well. Emulsify ingredients until smooth.

Step 4: Serve skewers right in the sheet tray to keep them hot and drizzle the sauce right over the top. Or place the sauce in a small bowl for dipping. Enjoy!

How to Store the Leftovers

The sauce will stay fresh in the fridge for up to seven days. You can freeze it for up to three months.

Pro Tip: Freeze the sauce in ice trays for single serving portions.

The shrimp should only be kept in the oven for one or two days. They get tough and dry when reheated so you can enjoy them cold over a salad. They usually taste best the second they get out of the oven.

Make Ahead: You can always prepare the skewers and the sauce ahead of time. Pop the skewers into the toaster oven for 7 minutes at 325 degrees right before serving.
