Notes
To save time, buy your shrimp peeled and deveined.
Prior to tossing the shrimp, remove the nerve on the under side of the shrimp if desired.
Put the shrimp on skewers to make them easier to flip.
If your shrimp are larger, add a few minutes and if they are smaller, reduce the cooking time a bit.
You can tell when the shrimp are fully cooked by their color. When they are done, the tail will be pink and the flesh will be white. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or they will be tough.
