gonna throw some shrimp on the grille among other things but I've never grilled shrimp before. Can anybody give me some tips and tell me how long to keep it on the grille. I'm talking about regular shrimp on skewers.
Thanks, Bobby

I soak them in melted butter and minced garlic for about an hour before cooking. Then I stick them on a skewer. Sprinkle a little Tony Chachere's over them. I can't give you a time(due to different heat levels) but you want the golden orange just like when you boil or fry shrimp. Doesn't take long at all. Don't over cook them because they will have the texture of rubber. I keep flipping them as well. Hope this helps.

That sounds good...

When I grill shrimp, I marinate them in Zesty Italian dressing for an hour or so.

If your using wood skewers, be sure to soak them awhile in water so they dont burn up. Also use two skewers on the shrimp so they dont twirl around on ya.

As far as time, I would say with a good hot fire, about 3 or maybe 4 mins per side. Like he said, dont over cook them. They should be pink.

Good luck!

I almost forgot. If you have a bbq sauce brush, keep "painting" the shrimp with the butter and garlic as they are cooking.

Thanks guys. Im gonna gine it a try.

I peel the shell's off, sprinke with tony, lay a slice of jalepeno on the shrimp, wrap in half a slice of bacon, hold everything in place with toothpicks, grill till done turning
as needed. 3-5 minutes.

This post is useless without pictures

Forget Tony's. It's nasty.

Try THIS
once. Use it sparingly...it's salty.


Soak the shrimp in :

Viva Italian dressing, Ball's general purpose cajun seasoning, and KC Masterpiece original BBQ ( or your favorite) sauce.

I peel the top off first, making "shrimp in shorts", skewer them, and soak them in the above mixture. Slap 'em on the grill and watch them CLOSELY....or they'll overcook. Just as you take them off, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over them.

I buy the 10-12 count shrimp when they come onsale. I shell them and marinate overnight them in:
Olive Oil
Cilantro (about 1/2 a bunch chopped)
Chopped fresh garlic (I like a lot)
Cumin spice
Zest from one lime
Black Pepper
Red pepper flakes
Marinate them overnight. About 1 hour before cooking, add the lime juice from the zested lime (dont leave overnight in juice or it will "cook" the shrimp). Skewer and grill on a very hot grill. They will get great char color in no time without over cooking. make sure you scoop some of the garlic/cilantro on them while grilling.

i take strips of chicken and pound them flat and wrap it around the shrimp. i them take a piece of bacon and wrap it around the whole thing and hold in place with a toothpick and then grill.

have done it with and without marinating and it always comes out good.

love it.

Also, use Reynold's Release Aluminum Foil.

All the flavor without the stick.

Shrimp on the grill is the best, I use Cavenders Greek Seasoning, just peel the shrimp, put on skewers, sprinkle the seasoning and throw on the grill, totaly addicting and easy to do.

take your favorite cheese and a jalapeno and wrap each shrimp up with bacon making sure to contain the cheese and jalapeno inside - cook on medium heat until bacon is done

SAGE SHRIMP SKEWERS

10 bacon strips
10 uncooked jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
10 fresh sage leaves

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels
Coat grillrack with cooking spray before starting the grill. Sprinkle shrimp with oil. Place a single sage leaf on each shrimp, wrap shrimp with a strip of bacon. Thread shrimp onto two metal or soaked wood skewers
Grill, covered over medium heat for 4-6 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning once

All the recipes sound good but the skewer part can be troublesome. The last time I grilled shrimp, I put them in a grilling basket - crowded them in but in a single layer. It was very easy to turn them on the grill and easy to serve. Won't ever use the skewers again. bh
