Ingredients
- 1 Pound Colossal Shrimp cleaned and deveined (or Jumbo Shrimp as a substitute)
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons BBQ Sauce
- 6- inch wooden skewers or bamboo skewers To prevent the wooden skewers from burning on the grill, it's a good practice to soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes before threading the shrimp onto them.
- Optional: diced fresh herbs for serving
Instructions
- Begin by thawing your shrimp if they're not already. For a uniform flavor—and to make sure your shrimp cook evenly—remove the shrimp shells, leaving only the tail.
- Now, divide the shrimp into two even batches. Brush half of the shrimp on all sides with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Next, brush the other half of the shrimp on all sides with barbeque sauce.
- Next, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. (It's important to make sure that the grill is fully preheated before you begin cooking to ensure that your shrimp gets those perfect grill marks.) Place your shrimp skewers directly on the grill. For the best-grilled shrimp, keep a close eye on them, turning once. The shrimp cooks quickly, usually needing only 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn opaque pink.
- Once done, place the skewers on a serving tray and sprinkle them with your choice of fresh herbs for a pretty presentation, if you'd like.
