How to Grill Perfect Shrimp

Grilled shrimp is the perfect summer dish. Skewer some marinated shrimp and throw them on the grill for a great party appetizer, or serve grilled shrimp with veggies and fruit for a complete meal that screams summer.

Grilling Tips and Ideas

Be sure you peel and devein your shrimp before cooking. Because shrimp are small, it's a good idea to skewer them before grililng. This not only looks great, but it keeps the shrimp from falling into the grill and gives you better control while grilling. A word of caution: If you're using wood skewers, make sure you soak them before placing on the grill so they do not catch fire.Try an oiled gril basket as an alternative to skewers if you want to keep your shrimp loose. Overcooking shrimp is a common mistake but can be easily avoided. Grill your shrimp over medium-high heat for about 1-2 minutes per side. Once the shrimp is opaque white, it's done and should be immediately removed from the grill. Marinades add great flavor to grilled shrimp. Mix up a marinade with your favorite sauces, herbs and spices (try using Asian or Latin flavors) and allow the shrimp to marinade for at least 1 hour.
