Blackstone Teriyaki Shrimp

If your family loves shrimp, make this Blackstone Teriyaki Shrimp Recipe. Loaded with sweet and savory flavor and cooks perfectly on the griddle.

Easy Blackstone Teriyaki Shrimp Recipe:

We love cooking shrimp on the Blackstone Griddle. It cooks quick and easy but adding the Teriyaki sauce is one of our favorite sauce. If you love making Blackstone fried rice add shrimp to it to make a delicious stir-fry recipe.

The flat-top griddle always cooks our steak, boneless skinless chicken thighs and boneless skinless chicken breasts perfectly. But adding the shrimp to the griddle surface makes it one of our favorite griddle recipes.

Feel free to place these shrimp on skewers to make shrimp kabobs with fresh vegetables. Add a side of white rice to create a delicious, crowd pleasing meal.

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce Recipe:

Teriyaki sauce is one of my favorite sauces to add to many different meats. We have made Blackstone Chicken Teriyaki on the flat-top grill. So I knew adding this teriyaki sauce to shrimp was also going to be delicious.

The Teriyaki Sauce is made with simple ingredients. The soy sauce based sauce makes any hibachi dish so delicious.

Yes, this teriyaki shrimp recipe cooks perfectly in a large skillet. It makes the perfect family dinners and one my favorite recipes to cook indoors. Just follow the recipe as it indicates but cook in a skillet or a griddle.

Recipe for Shrimp Teriyaki Variations Ideas:

• Change Meat – If you are not wanting to use shrimp, you can easily make this recipe with pork, chicken, or steak.
• Oil Griddle – We used avocado oil, but you can use olive oil, butter or sesame oil to cook the shrimp in.
• Garlic – We used minced garlic but you can use fresh ginger. The teriyaki mixture will still be delicious. Taste before adding to the shrimp to make sure the seasoning is the right combination.
• Vegetables – Feel free to add vegetables while cooking this shrimp recipe. Add red bell pepper or chopped broccoli. I like to go ahead and chop in bite size pieces to easily serve. You can even add in Pineapple Chunks.
• Serving – I like to serve with different dipping sauces. Make Homemade Yum Yum Sauce for an easy dipping sauce.
• Spicy – Add in red pepper flakes to this mixture for an extra kick to this recipe.

Teriyaki Shrimp Tips:

• Heat Griddle – Make sure to preheat griddle and add oil before adding the shrimp. This prevents the shrimp from sticking to the griddle.
• Cooking Shrimp – Cook the shrimp until pink and then add the sauce. It only takes a few minutes to cook the shrimp on the griddle.
• Serving – We like to serve with white rice or brown rice. It only takes about 20 minutes to cook this easy side dish.

What is the Best Shrimp to Use?

The perfect shrimp to grill is the large, jumbo or colossal size shrimp. We buy the shrimp that is already peeled and deveined. But you can grill shrimp with the peel on.

When cooking shrimp on the Blackstone, always buy raw shrimp. You can also buy the frozen shrimp but make sure to thaw it before cooking on the griddle.

How to Store Leftovers:

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
