A question that I see posed often is should you leave the shell on when grilling shrimp? This usually comes up when a new grill user reaches into to their fresh shrimp only to realize that the shell is still on. Not to worry the answer is simple. Yes you should leave the shell on. Leaving on the shell prevents drying and leaves some juices in the shellfish. Keep in mind though that the shell should have a slit in it to allow the seasonings or marinades to seep into the shrimp. Most shrimp already have a slit but check anyways especially if it’s small.
Yes shrimp are a delicious, tasty meal for outdoor grilling but be aware that shrimp cooks fast so don’t leave it on the grill for too long! Nothing is worse than dried out blackened shrimp. About 2 minutes on each side should be enough for average sized shrimp over a high heat. Shrimp is done when it turns pink.
You want to choose the right topping or sauce for your grilled shrimp. Marinades are an excellent choice for grilled shrimp if you choose the right delicious shrimp recipes but don’t put on too much. A classic topping for grilled shrimp is melted butter with some old bay seasoning or garlic powder and salt. Barbecue sauce is another great sauce for grilled shrimp but be sure to add it to your shrimp just before they are done cooking. You don’t want burned BBQ sauce all over your shrimp.

Hi. I like the way you write. Will you post some more articles?
Good post. I learn something more challenging on completely different blogs everyday. It is going to at all times be stimulating to learn content from different writers and observe just a little one thing from their store. I?d desire to make use of some with the content material on my blog whether or not you don?t mind. Natually I?ll offer you a link on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
The subsequent time I read a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I do know it was my option to read, but I truly thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you would repair should you werent too busy on the lookout for attention.
