Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp use jumbo, 15-18 count shrimp to cook directly on the grill without skewers; if using smaller shrimp, skewer them cook for less time, peeled and deveined
- 1 batch shrimp marinade or Grilled Shrimp Seasoning
- canola oil for grilling
Instructions
- Marinade the shrimp for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours); if using the seasoning, you can season and cook right away. If using wood skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes (smaller shrimp will need skewers; larger shrimp can cook directly on the grates).
- Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium high heat (425°F to 450°F). If using smaller shrimp, thread them on metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Brush the grill or grill pan with canola oil. Grill the shrimp, just until pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once half way through (discard the extra marinade). Serve immediately.

- TO STORE: Grilled shrimp is best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- TO REHEAT: Warm leftover grilled shrimp in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat or in the microwave.
- TO FREEZE: Transfer the grilled shrimp to an airtight freezer-safe storage container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating according to the instructions above.
- TO BROIL: To cook the shrimp in the oven, preheat the broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat with nonstick spray. Broil the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them and broil the other side for 2 to 3 minutes more, or until opaque pink.
