All thoughts are mine alone; this is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Safeway.
I collaborated with Open Nature® to create this recipe because their wild-caught frozen shrimp is free of preservatives and carries the Responsible Choice label, which informs consumers that the Open Nature seafood products were raised or harvested in a manner that helps protect future supplies and maintain healthy ocean ecosystems.

FAQ
What is the best way to prepare shrimp to grill?
Pour about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil into the herb mixture and grind together until mixture begins to form a sauce for marinating, about 1 minute. Add the chopped basil, parsley, oregano, and thyme. Pound with pestle until mixture begins to come together, about 5 minutes. Pour in the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
How do you keep shrimp moist on the grill?
Place the skewers of shrimp on the hot side of the grill, brush with olive oil, season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are just beginning to turn pink and opaque in the center.
How does Bobby Flay grill shrimp?
The secret to succulent grilled shrimp is full-fat yogurt; its acidity gently tenderizes the shrimp before grilling and serves as an effective vehicle for seasoning it with fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon juice; while the fat from the yogurt prevents the shrimp from drying out on the grill.
