How to dethaw frozen shrimp:

If your shrimp is frozen you'll want to defrost and peel it. To thaw it out, place it in a large colander and run cold water over it for five to ten minutes, turning the mass of shrimp several times to make sure water is running over all of it. Then remove the shells. I like to leave the tails on.

Make-ahead instructions:

You could prep the marinade a day in advance, however, since the marinade is fairly acidic, I wouldn't recommend marinating the shrimp ahead. If the shrimp sit in the marinade for too long (30 minutes or more) the acidity from the vinegar start to break down the delicate shrimp.

Storing instructions:

Remove the shrimp and tomatoes from any leftover skewers and place them in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments until just warmed through, or eat cold!

Notes

Medium Heat on a Charcoal Grill

If you’re using a charcoal grill, I recommend using briquettes instead of lump hardwood because lump hardwood burns too hot for medium heat grilling.
Once you turn your briquettes out of the chimney, rake them out into an even layer across the kettle, then let them burn down for 10 minutes.

Medium Heat on a Gas Grill

For a gas grill I preheat mine to hot first, then when I am about the add the shrimp I turn the burners to medium.
