Ingredients
- 8 large fresh shrimp or prawns peeled, but leave head and tail in-tact
- Salt
- Pepper
- ¼ cup Peanut Sauce
Instructions
- Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, starting from the tail and working all the way up through the head. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Clean the grill and then prep for direct high heat. Preheat for at least 10 minutes to get the grates super hot and non-sticky
- Grill the shrimp over direct heat for about 2 minutes per side. Flip the shrimp at first sign of pink. Remove and brush with the peanut sauce.
Notes
- Go for larger shrimp. Grilling requires high heat and smaller shrimp can easily be overcooked at those heat levels
- Grill the same day you buy your fresh shrimp as they tend to go bad quickly.
- Total grill time is around 5 minutes. Keep in mind the shrimp will continue cooking even after removing them from heat. Given this is okay to pull them off a minute early as the continued cooking will ensure their doneness
- Avoid peeled and deveined shrimp; cleaning before freezing may cause a loss of flavor and texture.
- Save the shells in use them later to flavor stock
- Soak the skewers ahead of time so they don't burn
