Chef’s Note
Deveining shrimp might sound daunting, but it can be handled easily in either two ways. Once the shrimp is peeled, you’ll make a shallow cut with your knife, use the tip of your knife to pull it out, then rinse to clean off any remaining grit and pat dry. The second method involves a toothpick or skewer. Slide it under the vein near the top curve, lift and it will pull right out.

Frequent Questions
Jumbo shrimp are best for this Grilled Shrimp recipe. They don’t cook too quickly, and they hold together better on the skewers than smaller shrimp options would. Plus, larger shrimp are easier to use for a complete meal.
If you’re making this recipe during a colder month, and you don’t want to use your outdoor grill, you can still make just as delicious, crispy grilled shrimp inside. Just heat up a large grill pan so that it’s hot before you add the marinated shrimp. Then cook for about 3 minutes on each side until the shrimp is opaque and pink.
