Grilled shrimp are done when they turn pink and slightly opaque, which typically takes about 2-3 minutes per side on a hot grill.
It's a matter of personal preference, but grilling shrimp with the shell on can help retain moisture and add flavor.
Shrimp should not be marinated overnight as the acid in marinades can start to cook and toughen the shrimp. A shorter marinating time of 30 minutes to an hour is ideal.
Using skewers can make it easier to handle the shrimp and ensures even grilling, but it's not necessary if you prefer to place them directly on the grill.
