FAQ’S

Wood-grilled shrimp skewers are created by threading shrimp onto skewers and cooking them over a wood fire. The wood adds a smoky flavor that brings out the natural sweetness of the shrimp.

It’s up to personal preference:

  • Peeled: Easier to eat and allows marinades to penetrate better.
  • Unpeeled: The shell can protect the shrimp from drying out and adds flavor. You can peel after grilling.
  • Oil the grill grates well before cooking.
  • Brush the shrimp with oil or marinade before grilling.
  • Use a grill basket or skewers designed for seafood.
  • Fruitwoods: Apple, cherry, or peach wood add a mild, sweet smokiness.
  • Hardwoods: Oak or hickory provide a stronger smoky flavor.
    Avoid resinous woods like pine, as they can impart a bitter taste.

Shrimp cook quickly, usually 2-3 minutes per side over medium-high heat. They’re done when they turn opaque and pink.

Yes, marinating shrimp for 15-30 minutes adds flavor. Avoid over-marinating (more than 1 hour) as the acid in marinades can start to “cook” the shrimp, making them mushy.

Yes, shrimp are low in calories and high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients. Grilling is a healthy cooking method, especially when using minimal oil.

It’s best to thaw frozen shrimp before grilling for even cooking. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water.

  • Metal skewers: Reusable and sturdy, but can get hot.
  • Wooden skewers: Soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Grilled vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus).
  • Rice pilaf or coconut rice.
  • Fresh salads (Caesar, Greek, or avocado salad).
  • Corn on the cob or garlic bread.
