Grilled Shrimp Recipes

When it's hot outside, why turn on the oven?
I choose one of our favorite grilled shrimp recipes and transport the entire cooking process outdoors.
When the thermometer starts to climb, instead of heating up the kitchen, we just move the entire cooking process outside.
Yes, grilling season is upon us - long live the Weber grill - charcoal and/or gas! Although it is nice to be able to simply turn a knob, nothing compares to charcoal grilled flavor.
Time to share our recipes for the most requested grilled shrimp dinners. Our kitchen cabinets store a select assortment of outdoor grilling paraphenelia purchased at Marshall's or other such discount retailers around Woodbridge, Virginia.
Some of my favorite grilling pans include a rib rack, a rectangular basket, a rack for skewers [think yummy kebabs!] a wok, and a flat pan. It's also useful to have a flat grid to keep all the small pieces from falling through the rack. It's perfect for swordfish, tuna or salmon fillets!
Here is a family favorite pulled from the grilled shrimp recipes folder.
Call them burgers or cakes but whatever you do, enjoy these variations on the crab cake!
They are perfect for outdoor grilling but you can prepare them on stove during any seaon.
Beat eggs along with other wet ingredients. Add green onions, shrimp and coarse bread crumbs. Mix gently until combined. Form into patties. We made 6 good sized patties from this amount.
We use a thin grill or the flat pan. Moisten with cooking oil so the shrimp does not stick and it is easier to flip the shrimp burger.
This recipe also works indoors! Pan fry the shrimp patties in a small amount of oil, flavored with a couple tablespoons of butter.
The shrimp are raw so you will need to cook the patties a little longer per side than crab cakes.
Use a pre-seasoned grid over a medium fire. Figure on 4 to 5 minutes per side until shrimp burgers are pink and opaque. The patties should be golden brown but take it easy when flipping them. They break apart easily.
These very same grilled shrimp recipes can be dressed up...opt for placing the shrimp mixture in individual, buttered ramekins or maybe a huge shell for a more formal occasion.
These are too delicate to eat in a bun...Savor these crispy seafood patties with nothing more than a great sauce (like home-made aioli).
Sides? A cool baby spinach salad and grilled corn...
Iced green tea and a berry shortcake or cobbler to finish off the meal.
Note: Raw, peeled and deveined shrimp at available at the seafood counter at all our major local supermarkets.
My last shrimp purchase cost $7.99/pound.
We precook the corn, then butter, season, wrap in foil and place on the grill. Shrimp cook quickly so fix them last, when everything else is ready.

Well there's more than one way to handle those U-12s! In other grilled shrimp recipes, we've skewered them, broiled them and this past weekend we grilled them outdoors. No bamboo skewers - just our trusty nonstick barbecue grilling wok. Marinate the shrimp and give them a few tosses in the wok and voilà!
We also make great use of the square vegetable basket to stir fry veggies on the grill.
