I do them several ways, so the time varies. The "test" is when the
shrimp turn white and lose that grayish transparency. When they look
white, it's time to remove them. That's also when I apply any baste- not
before. I usually cook them on a flat skewer on a preheated grill at
high temps. That means flip at about a minute and take them off at 2-3.
FWIW, I actually used to keep a MAPP gas torch out back and when the
shrimp were removed, I'd flash them with the torch. That also works
with scallops, giving both a little blackened look to the edges and
imparting a good flavor. Nowadays, I just light the IR grill beside the
regular one and pass them over the IR grill before basting and serving.
