FAQ

Is shrimp better boiled or grilled?

Cut 4 pieces of foil that are about 12 inches long. Preheat grill to high heat. Fold foil packets crosswise over the shrimp boil mixture to completely cover the food. Place foil packets on grill. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or transfer to oven. Bake for 20 minutes.

Why do you put ice in a shrimp boil?

Grilling just brings out more depth of flavor with a hint of smokiness to it and gives it a nice texture with those sought-after charred grill marks. It also only takes 20 minutes to cook. If you enjoy a good classic shrimp boil, you’ll love them grilled.
