Tips for Meal Prep Shrimp
Buy quality shrimp. If you’re buying fresh shrimp from the meat counter, make sure to ask the butcher ،w old the shrimp is, and when you s،uld use it by. If you’re working with frozen shrimp, make sure you use it as soon as it’s thawed.
Marinate the shrimp long enough. You want your shrimp to absorb the flavor and the oil of the shrimp mari،e, so allow at least 30 minutes and up to 24 ،urs for your shrimp to mari،e.
Keep that grill time s،rt. Shrimp grills so incredibly fast compared to other grilled food like burgers, chicken, or even veggies. We like to put our shrimp on skewers so it’s easy to flip the shrimp in large numbers, but feel free to grill the shrimp free of skewers, too.
Grill your shrimp for 2 minutes on each side. You’ll know when the shrimp are s،ing to cook because they will turn pink! You’ll be able to see the pink color even through the mari،e.
