shrimp skewer

Grilled prawn kebab

A shrimp skewer is shrimp threaded onto a thin stick or metal rod for grilling or serving.

The skewer keeps the shrimp from falling through grill grates and makes them easy to turn and handle: We threw some shrimp skewers on the barbecue.

Often served as an appetizer or party food.
