Tips & Notes

  • Substitution

    No grill basket? Use heavy-duty foil and punch holes in it.

  • Success

    Shrimp cooked in the shell stay moist and tender, and the lemony marinade adds lots of flavor.

  • Success

    If you use medium shrimp, add the shrimp for the last 5 to 7 minutes of grilling and cook until the shrimp are pink and firm.
