TIPS FOR THE GRILLED SHRIMP RECIPE
Choose prawns that are large (21–25 mm). After grilling, they maintain their meaty texture and juicy consistency.
If desired, leave the tails on, but before grilling, devein the prawns. The black vein running along the shrimp’s back can be removed by making a slit in the shell with a sharp paring knife. Even though some prawns are referred to as “deveined,” they still require labour to get rid of all the black sand.
To sear the prawns, use an outside grill or a griddle over the stove.
HOW TO KEEP GRILLED SHRIMP LEFTOVERS
Before placing the grilled prawns in an airtight container to be kept in your refrigerator, make sure it has completely cooled. When stored, prawns should be utilised within three to four days. Make sure the shrimp achieves an internal temperature of 165°F (74ºC) after reheating.
