Shrimp Marinade for Grilling

Marinated Shrimp for the grill

Place the thawed 13/15 Black Tiger shrimp in a mixing bowl. (That means nice size jumbo shrimp. 13 to 15 are in one pound) Add the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, cracked black pepper, and dried Aleppo Pepper to the shrimp and mix.

Only marinate shrimp before putting on the grill for a short period of time. Marinate for no more than an hour. The acidity of the lemon will make the shrimp tough if you over marinate before grilling.

How do you grill marinated shrimp?

• Start with thawed Shrimp. Don’t put frozen shrimp on the grill. That may cause uneven internal temps of the shrimp.
• Best way to grill Shrimp is on skewers.
• Place marinated shrimp on skewers.
• Pat the shrimp dry – Looking for some Sear Marks on the shrimp and water makes that difficult.
• Place on medium high heat and bring your gas grill up to 450 degrees F
• Place the shrimp directly on the grill grates over direct heat.
• Grilling shrimp is quick. Three minutes then flip and then another three minutes.
• Shrimp should be pink and cooked thru the entire shrimp.

Tips for Marinated Grilled Shrimp with red curry sauce

• Marinate Shrimp for only an hour. The acidity in the marinade will make the shrimp tough if you marinate for too long.
• Use flat skewers if possible. This will prevent the shrimp from flipping and making grilling marinated shrimp difficult.
• Insert skewers in the middle of the shrimp. Too high or too low thru the shrimp can cause uneven grilling.
• Like all cooking techniques, grilling shrimp does not take long. Over grilled shrimp will be tough. Stay near the grill.
