Then thread the blackened shrimp onto wooden skewers. (NOTE** I run the wooden skewers through water to help prevent starting on fire or burning).

How long to grill shrimp:

Let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator until you are ready to grill! Then once the grill is preheated and ready, grill on each side for about 2-3 minutes until pink and hot throughout. Enjoy!

Can I use fresh shrimp vs frozen?

Of course, just grill until the shrimp turn pink and the insides are white. Frozen, cooked shrimp are basically just getting heated up!
