Notes
Like any grilled seafood, shrimp can be grilled on a gas grill or a charcoal grill. Charcoal is nice for smokier flavors, but you can’t beat the convenience of a gas grill. (Grill pans are fine, but closer in flavor to a skillet.) Cooking time is most important here because shrimp cook quickly!
Preheat your grill to keep shrimp from sticking to the grates. Grilled shrimp skewers are easier to turn, but there’s some finesse here. You don’t want to move them too early, and overcooking results in rubbery shrimp!
