Father’s Day is June 16, and many people will be grilling to help celebrate the dads in their life. Shrimp on a skewer are not only a favorite, but a great way to sell shrimp!

Traditionally, larger shrimp are used for skewers so they don’t fall into the grill. Sell them by the skewer or by the pound.
