THE BEST TYPE OF SHRIMP FOR SKEWERS
The size of the shrimp matters when it comes to shrimp skewers!
Large shrimp (JUMBO SHRIMP!!) are the absolute best for shrimp skewers! Look for a minimum of 21-30 count shrimp. Ideally, 16-20 count (or bigger!) is the absolute best! Not only are they delicious, it’s super easy to thread shrimp onto the skewers!

Wooden skewers are the easy go-to, but I much prefer reusable metal skewers and even better…a combo of metal and wood skewers like these. Just make sure you soak the wooden handle on them if you are using them on the grill.
