Peel and devein the shrimp. This will help them cook evenly and make them easier to eat.
Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes. This will help them absorb the flavors of the marinade and make them more tender.
Use a hot grill. This will help the shrimp cook quickly and evenly.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side. Overcooking will make them tough.
Serve the shrimp immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh off the grill.
