Mom’s Tip for Wrangling Grilled Shrimp

by Michael Davis

in Household, Videos

My Mom whooped another common sense kitchen tip on us recently. So, I turned the video camera on her and had her show us how she keeps grilled shrimp moist and steady on a skewer.

Finally, be sure to soak your wooden skewers in water before you skewer your shriimp. It keeps them from bursting into flames.

BTW, do I get any points for not making any lame “shrimp on the barbie” jokes?

A good human algorithm for skewering shrimp.

I love the skewered shrimp idea and will use it from now on! Thanks for the tips and I’m happy you decided to join MY FAMILY (the Hack Family). Ed

This is great! I have had the wooden skewers turn “well done” before the shrimp were ready. I will soak them the next time. We have a lot of shrimp in Hawaii. Thanks

In the immortal words of Jackson Davis: “Thanks, Mom.”

Great tip and the paper towel under the cutting sheet is a great one, too.
