# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The shrimp grills in under five minutes, so you're not standing around waiting when hunger strikes.
  • It tastes like restaurant quality but won't drain your wallet or require specialty ingredients.
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before eating, making it perfect for busy nights.
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd the grill—shrimp need space around them or they'll steam instead of sear, and you'll lose that smoky flavor.
  • The dressing can be made up to a day ahead, which is a huge time-saver when you're cooking for a crowd.
03 -
  • Pat your shrimp completely dry before grilling—any excess moisture prevents them from getting that beautiful charred exterior.
  • Make the Caesar dressing the day before so the flavors meld and deepen, then simply assemble everything fresh.
