Grilling Salted Shrimp for Barbecues or an Easy Appetizer!
I've been told by a lot of people that they find skewering shrimp pretty challenging. Although this is a method came up on my own, it still works, so I'm sharing it here.
This method works with both frozen and fresh shrimp.
If you want to enjoy your freshly caught shrimp cooked rare, cook them for just a while longer after they've changed color. To enjoy frozen shrimp (and well-done fresh shrimp), you should cook them through all the way until the tail and antennae start to crisp and blacken a little. If you cook them through well enough, you won't have to remove the heads. Since they're quite crunchy, they're delicious to bite into. Just be careful of the pointed areas. For salt-grilled shrimp.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
I'm not sure what the professionals do, but you can insert the skewer vertically through the shrimp by starting from the belly-side of the tail and moving upward until you reach the crown of the head.
- 2
The trick to pushing them through straight is to hold the shrimp with their backs in the palm of your left hand and inserting the skewer by coaxing it in with twisting, rotating motions.
- 3
The skewer should be pushed in through the tail. Some restaurants I've been to have served them with the skewers pushed through their backs, but this is the way I prefer.
- 4
Sprinkle on the salt.
- 5
Place on the grill and cook.

My seafood-hating sister-in-law, who doesn't eat any seafood at all, made this for seafood loving me while contorting her face and putting up with it. Because of those circumstances, this dish had a very moving delicious flavor.The point is to completely coat the shrimp with the flavors in Step 3. Larger shrimp will turn out more plump and delicious. Recipe by Sorano mama -

The family was at Edisto beach and this was a last minute treat for my son-in-law and I. As we came upon a fresh seafood store we decided to grab some shrimp, 2 pounds of jumbos to be exact. The discussion was grill or fry, we made the right choice. One pound of grilled heaven each. Thankfully the others weren't fans of shrimp.

I wanted to recreate the dish I had at a certain famous Spanish restaurant.You don't need the anchovy, but it does make the dish more delicious.To pre-treat frozen shrimp, bring salted water to a boil in a pan, put in the shrimp, and drain after 10 seconds. Pat dry. This way they won't smell fishy and will be tastier. Don't overcook. For 2 servings. Recipe by mimiphone -

BBQ, Sweet Chili, & Peach Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Kabobs BBQ, Sweet Chili, & Peach Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Kabobs
Makes 8-10 Skewers. In the summer we love to cook on the grill. Skewers or Kabobs are something I am fond of. I'd never grilled peaches before but I've seen it done and always wanted to try it. Peach flavor pairs so well with bbq sauce. My favorite part is that there are 3 food groups on 1 stick! We had no peppers so I improvised with broccoli! Yum! This can be made in the oven or on the grill, and also in an air fryer as well! -
New Orleans BBQ Shrimp (NYC Style) New Orleans BBQ Shrimp (NYC Style)
For those who believe the sauce should be the main event. This dish has a perfect partnership of spice and flavor. A nice heat that's done when you are done.What makes is NYC Style?This recipe has a lightness to it with a little zip. A use of Sherry over Olive Oil with less butter allows more focus on the spicy and a less heavy feeling. The tofu! It takes on all the flavors of the dish.How did this happen?Like most good stories, love! A honeymoon where the misses and I had New Orleans BBQ Shrimp for the first time. Realizing NYC doesn't have any good News Orleans cooking, we had to bring it back with us.
