Grilled shrimp or prawns are tastiest when the shell is left on. Lightly sprinkle the shrimp
with salt. Grill them about 5 minutes until the shells turn pink. Serve hot o the grill.
GRILLING WITH A PLANK
Before you begin cooking with a plank it
must be soaked. This helps to keep food
moist while cooking, creates a more even
cooking rate, and lends more of the avor
characteristic of the wood you have selected.
Soaking a plank prior to cooking also reduces
its burn rate and prolongs the life of the
plank. Be sure to soak the plank prior to each
cooking session, even if the plank has been
used before.
Many liquids such as fruit juices, vinegar,
wine and other alcohols can also be used,
although water is the most commonly used liquid for soaking. Immersing the plank in these
dierent liquids renders their faint avors into the food being cooked. Soaking times for
planks should be at least one hour, but like marinating, can be longer based on personal
preference. Also, the size and type of wood helps determine soaking times.
Once the plank has been prepared by soaking in water, place it on the grill, cooking side
down, and preheat the grill to medium for approximately ve minutes. This allows the plank
to dry. The plank should not be allowed to catch re. Once the plank is preheated, brush a
light coating of oil onto the cooking side of the plank. This seasons the wood and keeps the
food from sticking.
YES, FRUITS ARE GOOD ON THE GRILL TOO!
Lightly grilling fruit (especially stone fruits) caramelizes their natural sugars, which enhances their flavor
and provides an attractive “grill mark”.
Set grill to medium.
Be sure to put fruits on a liberally oiled cooking grate to avoid sticking.
Slice fruit in half and remove pits. Grill with pulp side down. Grill until tender. Turn only once.
Grill the fruits until they are lightly browned. You want them to be tender but not mushy
when gently pierced with a sharp knife. The key for grilling fruits is to use low heat.
Fruits don’t take long to cook on the grill (about 3 to 5 minutes). Thicker pieces of fruit, such
