HOW TO GRILL SHRIMP?

Grilling Shrimp is easy and quick. At the same time, it can be tricky too. Shrimp requires fast cooking. 2-3 minutes of grilling on each side is good enough. Heat the grill very hot. If Shrimps are small, there are chances of them falling into the grill. So the best way to grill shrimp is to use skewers.

Once the Shrimps are skewered, place on the grill on direct heat. The shrimp marinade has already oil in it. So there are fewer chances of shrimps sticking to the grill. Grill each side not more than 4 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp. Flip the Shrimp Skewers when the underside is just beginning to turn pink.

HOW TO GRILL SHRIMP ON THE STOVE?

Shrimps can easily be grilled on the stove. Use a grilled pan, preferably cast Iron one. Grease the pan lightly. Place marinated Shrimp Skweres. Cook on medium-high heat, undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

CORN AVOCADO SALAD RECIPE.

Spicy Grilled Shrimps goes very well with the refreshing Corn Avocado Salad. Sweet Corn Kernels, creamy avocado and other crunchy veggies make this salad super healthy.

Charred corn kernels ads so much flavour to the salad. Grilling corn is very easy. Clean corn cobs, remove silk. Brush corn lightly with oil and sprinkle some salt. Then grill over direct heat until you see charred edges. It should take around 15 minutes.

If you don’t want to take the extra effort of grilling corn, you can also steam it. But I would recommend grilling the corn for extra flavour.

Once Corn is grilled let it cool down completely. Then with a sharp knife, remove the kernels. In a separate mixing bowl add chopped red onion, ripe avocado and chopped tomatoes. Chopped red pepper is also a great addition to the salad. There is no special salad dressing for this salad. When the salad is tossed with grilled Shrimps, you don’t need any more salad dressing.

This Grilled Shrimp with Corn Avocado Salad is an excellent dish for picnic or BBQ parties. If you are not grilling the shrimps outdoor, then take grilled shrimp and salad ingredient separately. Mix everything just before serving.
