How To Grill Shrimp on a Gas Grill Vs Charcoal Grill
For many people, shrimp is the perfect spring and summertime food. It’s light, delicious, and can be cooked quickly on the grill. But when it comes to grilling shrimp, there is some debate over which type of grill is best. Gas grills are convenient and easy to use, while charcoal grills add a unique flavor to food. So, which should you use for our chipotle lime shrimp?
Gas Grills Vs. Charcoal?

Here’s a quick rundown of the pros and cons of each type of grill: Gas grills heat up quickly and evenly, making them ideal for cooking shrimp. The most important thing to keep in mind when grilling shrimp on a gas grill is to use medium-high heat and to preheat the grill for 10 minutes before cooking. The best way to cook shrimp on a gas grill is by placing them directly over the flame. They should be turned every couple of minutes so that they are cooked evenly.
On the other hand, the flavor of a charcoal grill can be arguably better for the smokey flavor. Just keep in mind you need to make sure that your charcoal grill is hot enough before you start cooking. You can do this by preheating it for at least 15 minutes and by placing wood chips or chunks in the coal bed before grilling.
