If you are using wooden skewers, soaked them in water for about 15-20 minutes to help keep them from burning. How do you know Shrimp is done? When the shrimp turns from a gray flabby color and texture to a pink, opaque, firm flesh with a red tail, your shrimp is done. Shrimp cooks fast so keep your eye on it.

You can keep your shrimp and vegetables separate on different skewers so you can keep grilling the vegetables if needed. Give it space: You do not want to squish your ingredients together on your skewers. Give them space so that they grill evenly and all the way around. Variations: Add sausages, mushrooms, eggplant, or other vegetables to mix it up. Cook: You can pan cook this on your stovetop on medium-high heat. Cook till the shrimp and vegetables are done.

Ladyfingers or Savoiardi are light, fluffy biscuits with a slightly crunchy texture. They are made in a finger-like shape, hence the name. Ladyfingers absorb a lot of liquid which makes them perfect in no bake desserts. Once they have soaked up wet ingredients, they become soft, buttery and cake-like. Aside from Tiramisu, they are also great in cheesecakes and Charlotte cake. This strawberry tiramisu is the best combination! Tips for Making The Best Tiramisu Although this is a super easy dessert to put together, a few simple tips can really give you the best outcome and flavor in this strawberry tiramisu! Preparing Ahead of Time: It is best to make this a few hours to a day before serving to ensure the biscuits completely absorb moisture to create a cake-like texture. Picking Strawberries: To have the freshest strawberries, make sure you pick ones that are deep red all the way around with no hints of green or white. Other Toppings: Dust your Tiramisu with cocoa powder or fresh chocolate shavings for a traditional take on the recipe.
