Arrange the shrimp skewers on the empty side of the grill. Grill for 2 minutes on each side; turn
the skewers so that the deveined edge of the shrimp is on the grill. Grill for an additional 30
seconds.
Transfer the grilled shrimp and vegetables to a serving platter, or 4 individual plates. Garnish with
lemon wedges, and serve.
*Cook’s Tip: When grilled, shrimp have a much better texture after a short period of brining. To
brine the shrimp, place 1 tablespoon each kosher salt and brown sugar in a medium bowl; add
one cup boiling water. Stir until salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Add 12 ice cubes and 1
cup cold water; stir to chill water. Once cold, add shrimp; brine for 30 to 60 minutes in the
refrigerator.
