Question

When grilling shrimp over charcoal, should the shell be left on or peeled?

Answer 1

with shells because its keep in the flavor

Answer 2

Always on - they cook quickly enough without taking off their natural protection. Plus the shell gives a nice flavour and keeps the shrimp juicy and moist. Also it's great fun to peel off the shell just before eating. It adds to the experience.  

Answer 3

peeled

Answer 4

Peeled just don't overcook.

Answer 5

Either way is ok but I like shell off. Once they are cooked who wants to waste time peeling. Just to eat faster after cooking peeled is better.

Answer 6

You can do it either way, but with the shell on they will have more flavor and the shell protects the meat.  They cook quickly, so don't overcook!

Answer 7

i peel my shrimp  

Answer 8

Shrimp are easier to peel raw... I'd go ahead and remove them so you can eat them hot off the grill, and not have to let them cool just so you can pick them up to peel.

Answer 9

with the shell on head off split shrimp thee quarters and take out the black thread.
