Temperature for Grilled Shrimp:

All shrimp, seafood and fish should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145° using a digital thermometer. Shrimp will curl when cooked through and will be pink, no longer opaque. 

How to Store and Reheat:

Store grilled shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days. 

Reheat in a skillet with a tablespoon or two of water over medium heat for about 2- 3 minutes, stirring often.

Stovetop Method:

If you would like to make this recipe on the stovetop. Prepare the sauce and cook shrimp in the sauce in a skillet over medium for about 8 minutes, stirring often, until shrimp reaches 145°. You won’t get the smoky goodness from grilling but it will still be delicious.
