What is the Best Shrimp to use?

The perfect shrimp to grill is the large, jumbo or colossal size shrimp. We buy the shrimp that is already peeled and deveined. But you can grill shrimp with the peel on. I like to keep things easy, so I look for the shrimp that is already peeled.

When cooking shrimp on the Blackstone, always buy raw shrimp.

Ingredients needed - shrimp, butter, garlic, salt and pepper, lemon

Ingredients:

  • Raw Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • Butter
  • Minced Garlic
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Lemon, juiced

How to Cook Shrimp on Blackstone:

  • Prepare Griddle – Preheat the Blackstone Griddle to medium high heat (350-400 degrees F).
  • Add Shrimp – Melt approximately 1 Tbsp of the butter on the griddle. Then place the shrimp directly on the griddle in the melted butter.
  • Cook Shrimp – Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp is pink (only flip the shrimp once). Move the shrimp to make an opening on the griddle in the center of the shrimp.
  • Add Seasoning to Griddle – Place the remaining butter, minced garlic, salt and pepper in this opening on the griddle. Then toss the shrimp in this mixture for 1 minute until the garlic is aromatic.
  • Serve and Enjoy – Remove the shrimp from the grill and place in a large bowl. Top with the lemon juice and it’s ready to enjoy.

How long do you cook Shrimp on a Blackstone Griddle:

Grilled Shrimp only takes a few minutes on each side.

Can you use Frozen Shrimp?

When making this recipe, you can use fresh shrimp that you get at the meat counter or purchase frozen shrimp. If you purchase frozen shrimp, make sure to let it thaw before cooking. It will take about 20 minutes to thaw out.

To let it thaw, place shrimp in a colander and let it run cold water until thaw. You can also put the frozen shrimp bag in the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight.

How to Store Leftovers:

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Grilled Shrimp and rice makes for the perfect lunch the next day.
