Cooking Shrimp On Grill Mat
What we really can t stand is the hassle with cooking fish shrimp or veggies on the grill.
Cooking shrimp on grill mat. Its mesh design allows grease to drain through. In total the shrimp should not be on the grill for longer than 2 minutes. If the idea of food cooking in grease turns you off consider the phatmat mesh grill mat. I will never again cook seafood or vegetables on the grill without a copper grill mat.
Just like a solid mat the mesh design lets you grill small items like shrimp grape tomatoes and mushrooms without them falling into the fire. As good as the shrimp tasted the best part was the clean up effort. With a top quality grill mat those frustrations and. Now it is time to grill the shrimp.
It always falls apart or falls through the grates. Since you can t tell by color they re already pink you ll have to use your best judgment. I also heard they are great for cooking chicken with a marinade but i haven t tried yet. Thread your shrimp on a skewer for easy grilling.
Cook until the shrimp are opaque and slightly charred. Grill the shrimp over direct medium heat for 5 7 minutes turning the shrimp halfway through the process. When you grill on a grill mat you re not only cooking on a clean surface but you re cooking on a continuous surface too. A large cooking surface opens up a world of possibilities making it much easier to cook things like shrimp fruits veggies and more.
If you re grilling pre cooked shrimp your goal is to simply heat them up and impart a little barbecue flavor. This should only take 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side. I ll update this post after i give baking with the copper grill mat a whirl.
