How to Cook Frozen Shrimp on a Grill (7 Steps)

When summer approaches, the desire to grill becomes more prevalent in many American households. When you start thinking about hamburgers, hot dogs and ribs, stop and think shrimp instead. Shrimp is relatively inexpensive compared to other seafood, and it has a great flavor when grilled. Cooking the shrimp when it is frozen helps to trap the flavor into the meat. Add a few herbs and you have a great-tasting main dish, or a fantastic side dish for when friends come over.

Things You'll Need

  • Frozen shrimp
  • Skewers
  • ½ c butter
  • Basting brush
  • Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grill as per manufacturer’s instructions.

  2. Stick the shrimp on the skewers. This should be done lengthwise to get a better hold on the shrimp and to allow an even heat distribution. If you are using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 10 to 15 minutes before putting the shrimp on. The moisture keeps the wooden skewers from burning up on the grill.

  3. Use a basting brush to spread the butter over the shrimp. This lets the seasonings stick to the shrimp.

  4. Cover the shrimp with Italian seasoning. Turn the skewer over and repeat.

  5. Place the shrimp on the grill when the grill is ready. There should not be any fire in the grill, otherwise the shrimp can burn.

  6. Cook three to four minutes on each side. You are cooking the shrimp a little longer because it is frozen, but it thaws out quickly. If you want the shrimp a little crispy then add two minutes to each side. The Italian seasoning will form a soft semi-crunchy layer.

  7. Remove from the grill and serve.
