Cooking Tips

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
• Make sure to preheat the grill to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
• Do not overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque.

Storage and Serving

• Grilled Lemon Cilantro Shrimp is best served hot off the grill.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
