Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a grill pan over medium heat.
  • Be sure to marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to tenderize the shrimp and infuse them with flavor.
  • When grilling the shrimp, cook them over medium heat until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with the cilantro sauce. The sauce can also be used as a dipping sauce for other grilled meats or vegetables.
