Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use instead of head-on shrimp?
You can substitute head-on shrimp with tail-on or peeled shrimp, but the flavor may not be as rich since the heads contain a lot of flavor. Using medium shrimp will still provide a good texture.
How should I store leftover garlic griddle shrimp?
Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking.
What should I do if my shrimp are not cooking evenly?
Make sure the shrimp are in a single layer in the skillet without overcrowding. If they are crowded, they will steam instead of sear, leading to uneven cooking. Cook in batches if necessary.
