How to Make Grilled Shrimp (in the Shell)

For a one-page version of this recipe, see my: Thai Grilled Garlic Shrimp Recipe .

When grilling, it's best to use medium-large to large shrimp (prawns). To prepare them, hold the shrimp against a cutting board or other clean surface. Make a cut down the middle of the shrimp, being careful not to slice all the way through the shell. The idea is just to open them up.
