Shrimp on the Barbie

Grilled shrimp is a great summer meal! It’s easy to cook and quite tasty, too. Getting the shrimp ready for the grill is just as important as the actual grilling. That’s where this week’s recipes come in. They’re all marinades for grilled shrimp. You can use whatever type of shrimp you’d like — white, brown or tiger. For grilled shrimp recipes, stay away from the small shrimp. Large, extra large and jumbo are easy to work with and go on skewers nicely. Cooking the shrimp on skewers makes them easier to control on the grill and easier to cook. If you use two skewers for each serving, run one skewer through the head end and another through the tail end of each shrimp. That way, you won’t have ‘spinning shrimp’ when you turn the skewers on the grill.
