Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. Extra Large or Colossal Shrimp
- Salt
- Olive Oil
- Pepper
- Your favorite rub or marinade
Instructions
- Prep Shrimp. Make sure your shrimp are fully defrosted and patted dry. Whether you prefer to grill them with their shell on is completely up to you but we like to peel them and devein them.
- Season Shrimp. After you have dried off your shrimp you can add them to a marinade or simply season them with your favorite rub.
- Prepare Your Skewers. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in advance to help prevent them from charring too quickly.
- Preheat Your Grill. Prepare your charcoal or preheat your gas grill to 350-450 degrees, leaving yourself a cool zone. This will allow you to transfer your shrimp over to a cooler side if they get too hot. If you are going to be using a wok, cast iron skillet, plancha, or griddle, preheat it also.
- Cook Shrimp. Cook your shrimp approximately 2 minutes per side. They will darken in color, begin to curl, and their tails will get slightly charred. The internal temperature should be 120 degrees. If it looks like your shrimp is cooking too quickly, transfer them over to your cool zone for indirect cooking.
- Serve Shrimp. Serve your grilled shrimp with your favorite sauce, give them a squeeze of charred citrus, or pair them with your favorite turf to this grilled surf. The possibilities are endless
