Why This Recipe Works in Your Kitchen

When grilling with skewers you will need to soak wooden skewers in water or use metal skewers. Shrimp cook very quickly, so keep a close eye on them and remove them from the grill as soon as they’re done. You know that they’re ready when they turn pink and opaque. Overdone shrimp will get tough, so they will likely only require about 3-5 minutes total over high heat.
