How to Fix Shrimp on the Grill
Good grilled shrimp starts with the shrimp itself. Always start with jumbo shrimp. Jumbo shrimp will be easier to handle on skewers or with tongs, and they will not slip through the spokes in the grill. No marination is needed to grill shrimp, but, if you choose to do that, soak them in a garlic butter mix. Does this Spark an idea?
