BBQ Tips for Perfect Shrimp

✔️ Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F or 190-205°C).
✔️ Use skewers to prevent shrimp from falling through the grates.
✔️ Brush with oil or butter to avoid sticking.
✔️ Season or marinate for extra flavor (lemon, garlic, herbs, or BBQ seasoning).
✔️ Look for doneness → Shrimp turn pink and opaque with a slight curl (C-shape, not tightly curled O-shape).
✔️ Don’t overcook! Overcooked shrimp become rubbery.
