Want to cook the shrimp on the grill?

This Shrimp Cocktail recipe can also be prepared on the grill. The smoky flavor that the grill imparts to the shrimp is a taste that you can’t get with the boiled shrimp. To grill the shrimp preheat your grill to medium hot, about 375 degrees F. Place the shrimp on the grill in a single layer and grill for about 4 minutes per side. And the homemade cocktail sauce can be tailored to your exact taste. It’s so easy and sooo good! So why settle for what everyone else is serving?
