Recipe Tips
- Cooking Shrimp – When cooking shrimp make sure that the shrimp turn almost pink, firm and slightly white before removing from grill. You can also cook the shrimp on the Blackstone Griddle or a Non-Stick Pan.
- Threading Shrimp- Thread 4-5 shrimp per skewer, running the skewer through both the thick end and the tail end of each shrimp so it lies flat instead of curling into a “C” shape. This helps the shrimp cook evenly and makes them easy to flip.
- Grilling Shrimp – You can also place the seasoned shrimp in a grill pan.
