How to Grill Shrimp in the Oven
When the weather cools off, it's not always possible to grill food outdoors. If you're craving the taste of grilled shrimp in the middle of winter, you can grill it in the oven by using the broiler setting. The broiler setting applies direct heat to the surface of food, in the same manner as an outdoor grill. This method will seal in the juices and create a crisp texture on your shrimp.
