3. Grill Shrimp Shopping Tips
Please get raw shrimp for grilling.
You can usually find cooked or glazed shrimp and raw shrimp in the freezer.
For frying or grilling shrimp , raw shrimp are better.
Gray shrimp are usually raw and red shrimp are usually cooked.
The exception proves the rule, special shrimp varieties are always red.
For example Gambero Rosso which I have used elsewhere.
In my experience, the bigger the shrimp, the better.
Small shrimp are unsuitable for grilling whole, they cook quickly and the flesh becomes rubbery.
A small shrimp overview for shopping can be found below:
Difference Between Scampi and Shrimp:
Think Of Simple Side Dishes:
We served the shrimp with lemon and a simple parsley sauce.
The parsley sauce consists of parsley, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
You can find more sauce ideas further down in the article.
A fresh baguette or other bread is recommended if you want to go quickly.
Other supplement recommendations are added below under the appropriate heading.
4. Prepare Grill For Grill Shrimps
In order for the grilling of the shrimp to work, you need a hot grill grate and white-hot charcoal.
Alternatively, you can prepare your king prawns on the gas grill or the electric grill.
There are different forms of heating for charcoal.
The chimney starter, which allows the charcoal to glow quickly, has proven its worth.
Here are some pictures:
5. Prepare Lemon Crown For Grill Shrimp
We usually cut the lemon or lime into halves or into quarters or eighths with the grilled shrimp.
For a special day I have a nice tip for you.
Cut the lemon into a lemon star or lemon crown.
This looks very nice and the annoying lemon stones can be easily removed before serving.
For the perfect Wiener Schnitzel, I made a video a long time ago on how to prepare the lemon crown.
Please place the lemon on the cutting board when cutting it.
In the video I have to juggle the lemon and the camera (Headcam) on my head and couldn’t show it perfectly 🙂
