How can I prevent my shrimp from sticking to the grill?
One way to prevent sticking is to use skewers and/or oil the grill grates before cooking. You can also marinate the shrimp beforehand in ingredients that contain a bit of sugar. The sugar will help create a caramelization effect on the surface of the shrimp, making it less likely to stick to the grill.

How can I tell when my shrimp are cooked all the way through?
Shrimp only takes a few minutes to cook, so be sure to keep an eye on them while they're on the grill. The shrimp should turn bright pink and opaque, with a slightly charred appearance on the outside. The internal temperature should reach 120-130°F.
-
Can I use a different type of marinade for my shrimp skewers?
Yes, you can use a variety of marinades for your shrimp skewers. Some popular options include garlic herb, lemon garlic, honey lime, or even a spicy chili rub. Experiment with different flavors and spices to find your favorite combination. Also, be sure not to marinate the shrimp for too long, as the acid in the marinade can begin to break down the protein and make the shrimp mushy.
