- Use high-quality pancetta: Pancetta adds a rich, smoky flavor to the shrimp. Look for pancetta that is thinly sliced and has a good amount of marbling.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. The shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink, but still slightly firm.
- Make the creamy herb dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance, which makes it a great option for a party or potluck.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: The shrimp are best served immediately after they are grilled, while they are still hot and juicy.
