Grilled Shrimp Cocktail

A simple recipe for making Grilled Shrimp Cocktail at home. Super easy to make and ready in less than 10 minutes.

Growing up I did not like Shrimp. I think it was the texture. But now I absolutely love a good Grilled Shrimp Cocktail. And even better, it's super easy to make.

Unless you have a lot of experience handling Shrimp, I strongly suggest you buy shrimp that has already been deveined. Doesn't matter if you buy fresh or frozen just try to make sure they have been deveined and save yourself a lot of work.

And don't forget the cocktail sauce to go along with your delicious grilled shrimp. You can use some from your favorite brand or make your own. I always have a bottle in the fridge so rarely have an opportunity to make my own but when I do I will be sure to post it here.

If you don't have any old bay seasoning on hand you can substitute for a little bit of paprika and celery salt. The seasoning will add a bit of flavor to the shrimp but worst-case scenario you can simply toss the shrimp in olive oil and grill them up just like that.

If you prefer to cook your shrimp on an outdoor grill simply marinate your shrimp according to the directions on the recipe card and cook on the grill preheated to 350°F.

You can also bake the shrimp in the oven as well. Once the shrimp is ready for baking, place the shrimp on a baking sheet and place it in an oven preheated to 350°F. Cook time should remain the same.
