Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb. shrimp
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon grill seasoning
  • non-stick coating for grill
  • 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to 350 degrees.
  • Rinse the shrimp, pat dry and thread onto bamboo skewers.
  • Prepare the shrimp skewers by brushing lightly with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the shrimp with seasoning.
  • Grilled the skewers 5-7 minutes total, turning once during grilling.
  • Serve with wedges of fresh lemon on the side, finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Don't overcook the shrimp! When properly cooked the tails of the shrimp will be pink and the flesh just slightly white. Overcooked the flesh will be bright white and the shrimp will be rubbery.

Cooked shrimp will curl into a C shape.
