2
Cook & Flip

Verification Basis & Testing Rig

National Fisheries Institute & Char-Broil Seafood Grilling Guidelines

Pro Tip: Below the USDA 145°F seafood recommendation; standard culinary target for shrimp. Leaving shells on protects the delicate shrimp meat from intense grill heat and locks in sweet juices.
