Tips for the grilled shrimp recipe
- Opt for jumbo-size shrimp (21-25). They’re meaty and stay both crisp and juicy after grilling.
- Leave on the tails if you’d like, but devein the shrimp before you grill them. Use a sharp paring knife to cut into the shell and remove the black vein that runs along the back of the shrimp. Some shrimp are sometimes labeled as “deveined,” but they still need work to remove all that dark grit.
- You can use a griddle over the stove or your outdoor grill to sear the shrimp.
How to keep grilled shrimp leftovers
Make sure the grilled shrimp is wholly cooled before packing it up in an airtight container stored in your refrigerator. Shrimp should be used within 3-4 days of storage. When reheating, ensure the shrimp reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74ºC).
