To cook on the grill

  2. Place the skewers on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Roast the shrimp for 4-5 minutes until just cooked.

Notes

  • I use a homemade blend, but you can use a store-bought mix. Grab my Peri Peri Seasoning Blend recipe.
  • I like to buy frozen raw, shelled shrimp! For skewers, I tend to use medium-large shrimp. By the count, this is 36/40 count. You can also use fresh shelled and deveined shrimp.
