I’ve deveined hundreds – probably thousands – of shrimp in my life, as it’s truly one of my favorite things to eat! It’s not a glorious task by any means, but once you get the hang of it, it goes quickly. If I see a dark line running along the inside curve of the shrimp, I grab a paring knife and remove it. Yet I am rarely satisfied with that level of deveining. Often you’ll find shrimp with a label that says it’s already deveined. And if I’m in a pinch for time, I place the frozen shrimp in a large colander and run cold water over them until they thaw out. I prefer to let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator. So grabbing a bag of frozen shrimp is absolutely ok, I do it all the time! For those of you who live with access to fresh shrimp, LUCKY YOU!!!įrozen shrimp needs to be thawed. Just know that unless you live in an area with access to local, just-caught shrimp, any shrimp you see in a seafood case has more than likely already been frozen. You can use fresh or frozen shrimp – whichever is most accessible for you. Beyond size, I always look for raw shrimp that is already peeled and deveined, with tails still on. And some chopped parsley gives a pretty, fresh finish.įor this shrimp cocktail recipe, you want to choose raw extra jumbo shrimp or the largest shrimp you can find.

Don’t skip the sugar – its flavor is wonderful with the natural sweetness of shrimp, plus it helps to get that beautiful char on the grill. Seasonings – Sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper make up the marinade flavors.Olive oil – This helps to create a super quick little marinade when mixed with the seasonings, and gives a golden char on the hot grill grates.Also keep in mind that shrimp shrink when cooked. I always use “extra jumbo”, for big, succulent bites. Shrimp – The larger the shrimp, the better.
