BBQ Pro Tips

• Don’t overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook fast and are done once they turn opaque and slightly firm.
• Use two skewers instead of one to keep the shrimp from spinning while flipping.
• Leave a small gap between each shrimp on the skewer so the heat cooks them evenly.
• Add a light squeeze of fresh lemon right before serving to brighten the flavor.
• For extra smoky flavor, toss a small chunk of citrus or pecan wood onto the coals while grilling.
• Reserve a small bowl of garlic butter for serving and do not use the butter that touched raw shrimp.
• Grill over direct heat for a quick char, but move skewers to indirect heat if flare-ups happen.
• Want a little kick? Add a light dusting of extra TSG Ring the Bell during the final minute of cooking.
