Pro Tips
- Shrimp must be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you happen to buy shrimp with shells on, cook with the shell on to retain moisture and flavor.
- You can cook the shrimp on a skewer if you want. The shrimp skewers are easy to flip over on the grill and they are easy to serve.
- Allow shrimp to rest for a few minutes before serving to let juices redistribute throughout.
Storage and Reheating
Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
Freezer: Believe it or not, you can freeze cooked shrimp. Freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet before adding them to a freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
Reheat leftover shrimp on the Blackstone or in the microwave until hot throughout.
