GRILLED SHRIMP IN THE SHELL

One way to keep grilled shrimp from drying out is to grill them in their shells


This requires direct grilling, ensure your coals are in a even layer


Soak bamboo skewers in water before putting them on the grill


To devein the shrimp in their shells, use kitchen shears to make a lengthwise cut down the back of each shrimp.  Once the shell is cut, you can pull the vein out with your fingers or with a fork.


Skewer the shrimp.  To ensure even grilling, position all the shrimp facing the same direction.  You may want to use 2 skewers or two-pronged skewers to keep the shrimp from flipping during grilling.


Cook the shrimp directly over a hot fire.  They will be firm and white when fully cooked.  This will take 2 - 3 minutes per side
