Tips:

  • Choose the Right Shrimp: Opt for large, fresh shrimp with their heads and shells intact for the best flavor and texture.
  • Prepare the Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices not only adds flavor but also helps keep them moist during grilling.
  • Grill at the Right Temperature: Maintain a medium-high heat on your grill to ensure the shrimp cook evenly without overcooking.
  • Flip the Skewers Regularly: Flip the skewers frequently during grilling to ensure even cooking and prevent the shrimp from sticking to the grates.
  • Use a Basting Brush: Baste the shrimp with the reserved marinade or melted butter during grilling to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Don't Overcook: Overcooked shrimp become tough and rubbery, so keep an eye on them and remove them from the grill as soon as they turn opaque and slightly pink in the center.
