Shopping For Shrimp
So you decided to make shrimp for dinner. When you go to your local grocery store or supermarket, look for fresh shrimp. They don’t require any thawing before grilling. Some recipes allow you to grill shrimp frozen. The recipes in this article require that the shrimp be thawed for best results.
If fresh shrimp are not available you can use frozen. Look for a 1 lb. package as this recipe calls for 1 lb. of fresh shrimp. If you are cooking for a larger group, get the appropriate amount of shrimp to cover all your guests.
For example, 4 adults will require 2 lbs. of shrimp fresh or frozen.
