Pan-Grilled Jumbo Shrimp are an excellent refined and delicious seafood main course and can also be served as an appetizer.
A very simple and quick recipe to prepare that can be made with both fresh and frozen shrimp.
The shrimp can be cooked and grilled in a regular non-stick pan; I used a ridged grill pan, or on an electric grill or barbecue grill.
For a good cooking result, grill the shrimp with their shells on so they remain juicy and flavorful inside.
After cooking, you can serve them simply with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon slices, or accompany them with a fresh salad or dress them with a fresh dressing of olive oil, lemon, and chopped parsley.
Now let’s see how to proceed with the cooking.

Preparation for Pan-Grilled Jumbo Shrimp
Clean the shrimp: with a toothpick, remove the black vein located on the shrimp’s back by sliding it out from the head, then rinse the shrimp well under running water.
If you want, you can remove the head, but for aesthetic purposes, it’s better to present them whole, don’t remove the shell either, they are cleaned after cooking.
Take a non-stick grill pan, grease it with some oil, heat it up, then place the jumbo shrimp. Sprinkle with some salt and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
For optimal cooking, cover the pan with a lid so that the steam doesn’t escape and the shrimp stay softer inside.
When the shell is well golden, plate and serve the shrimp hot, simply with a drizzle of olive oil or with the dressing prepared earlier with oil, lemon, and chopped parsley.
Anna recommends…
You can cook the shrimp in a pan or on a grill plate simply like this or with a dressing.
If you have leftover shrimp, you can peel them and use them the next day for a fresh and tasty salad or to prepare a first course.

Yes, certainly, place them on the basket, spray a little oil, and cook at 320°F for about 25 minutes, turning them halfway through.
