Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If frozen shrimp is all you have, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • To devein shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Then, use your fingers to pull out the vein.
  • If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill. Leave some space between the shrimp skewers so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve the shrimp skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or remoulade.
