Skewer the shrimp on a few sets of 2 skewers. Skewer them close together to create a solid sheet of shrimp between the two skewers. Suspend the skewers of shrimp over a baking dish so that air can flow freely above and below them.

There are two great debates when cooking shrimp: shell or no shell and vein or no vein. Each has its advantages and there is no right or wrong answer. While most Americans prefer shelled shrimp without the vein, the whole shrimp is preferred in much of the world.
The shell will also protect the shrimp from drying out on the grill. Although, you must remove the shell to devein a shrimp. Depending on the type of shrimp you purchase, they may already be peeled and deveined with only the tail left on. Here at UW Provision, we carry peeled and veined shrimp with both the tail on and off. Leaving the shrimp in the shell quickens your prep time, but your guests will have to remove the shells as they eat.
On the flip side, shrimp without the shell and vein are easier to skewer. This is also the better choice if you plan to season your shrimp with a marinade because peeled shrimp allows the flavor to get in the meat where it will have more of an impact.

Pull out the back vein while washing the shrimp under cold water. The vein is noticeable in jumbo or colossal shrimp. Give the shrimp flavor in the marinade of your choice. My favorite is just a simple brush of olive oil on the shrimp with some salt, pepper and squeeze of lemon.
