- Place cleaned shrimp into a vacuum bag and pour the marinade over shrimp.
- Seal the bag on vacuum level 2 and allow to sit for 20-30 minutes.
- When ready to cook the shrimp, open the bag and discard excess marinade. We recommend skewering and grilling the shrimp, but they are also great sautéed on a griddle or cooktop.
SUGGESTED GRILLING METHOD
- Remove the shrimp from the vacuum seal bag and discard any excess marinade.
- Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.
- Once the grill is preheated, lightly brush the grill grates with oil, using a folded paper towel and tongs.
- Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are lightly charred and are no longer translucent.
- Transfer the skewers to a platter and serve.
