To Make Lemon Shrimp
To Cook Shrimp on the Grill:
If making grilled shrimp, you’ll want to skip the flour in this recipe and toss the seasonings with some olive oil. Thread three or four coated shrimp on wooden skewers that have been soaked in water (so they don’t burn on the grill). Grill for about 4 minutes over medium heat and then flip over and grill another 4 minutes. Squeeze ½ the lemon over the top and serve with lemon slices and parsley.
Tips for Keeping Shrimp Juicy When Fried
To be honest, to keep shrimp juicy the key is to make sure you don’t overcook it! It’s easy to do because they cook so quickly. Keep in mind, like most meats, even seafood will continue to cook after it’s been removed from the heat source. This is called ‘carryover’ or ‘residual’ cooking.
What to Serve with Lemon Pepper Shrimp
