TIPS
Using frozen raw shrimp?
Be sure to defrost, peel, and devein the shrimp before cooking.
Do you need to soak wooden skewers when making grilled shrimp?
You should always soak wooden skewers before making skewers, kabobs, or any food on a stick. They will be less likely to catch fire if they are soaked in water for about an hour.
What is the best way to tell when shrimp is done cooking?
You should pay attention to a few tell-tale signs. The first thing to look at is the color. Shrimp that have been cooked perfectly should have a pink tint. Shape is another thing you can look at. Whenever your shrimp curl into a neat C shape, you know they're done. Shrimp that have been overcooked curl tightly into an O shape.
Is there a way to avoid rubbery shrimp?
By not overcooking shrimp, you can avoid rubbery shrimp. They should be cooked over high heat and removed from the heat source as soon as the flesh is uniformly pink.
Enjoy!
