04 - Heat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

02 - For extra flavor, use metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers when grilling.
03 - Internal temperature should reach 145°F for properly cooked shrimp.
04 - Shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
