This is a great summer grilling recipe using lemongrass sticks as skewers for extra tangy flavor! The shrimp cooks quickly and is so delish with a side of rice. Pair it with a great bottle of white wine and it’s simply perfection!

Instructions
- Peel several outer layers of the lemongrass sticks and cut off the tops in a sharp angle. Set aside.
