3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place the shrimp skewers on the grill, and cook until the peppers are slightly charred and the shrimp is cooked through, about 2–3 minutes on each side. Don’t overcook your shrimp, they cook quickly. Fully cooked shrimp turn pinkish on the outside and white on the inside.
