Grilled Shrimp with Tomato and Grape Salsa

Grilled shrimp is a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed all year round. When paired with homemade tomato and grape salsa, it becomes an irresistible meal that is perfect for any occasion.

I’d like to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to prepare and grill shrimp in the oven, as well as a recipe for a tangy and sweet salsa that perfectly complements the shrimp.

Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will leave your taste buds wanting more. So, let’s get started!

How to Prepare Raw Shrimp for Grilling in the Oven

To prepare raw shrimp for grilling in the oven, start by cleaning and deveining them. To clean the shrimp, rinse them under cold water and remove the shell, leaving the tail intact. Then, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of each shrimp and remove the dark vein that runs along it.

Next, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also marinate the shrimp in your favorite marinade for added flavor.

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the seasoned shrimp on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook the shrimp for 6-8 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough and rubbery.

Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference.

1. Serve the shrimp and salsa on a bed of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
2. Add some avocado slices or guacamole on top for extra flavor and creaminess.
3. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
4. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some diced jalapeño to the salsa for a spicy kick.
