Spicy Grilled Shrimp
Test Kitchen Notes; plan ahead the shrimp needs to marinade for 1 hour, I do not recommend more than 1 hour or the lemon will start to “cook” the shrimp, make certain to soak your wooden skewers in cold water a minimum of 30 minutes or more before threading on the shrimp and grilling, amounts may easily be doubled
Servings 4-6
INGREDIENTS:
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt (can use coarse salt)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or adjust to suit heat level)
2 teaspoons paprika
1-1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (do not use bottled)
Tabasco sauce (optional and to taste)
2 pounds large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
lemon wedges
INSTRUCTIONS:———————————-
In a small bowl crush the chopped garlic with coarse salt; mix in cayenne pepper and paprika.
Add in olive oil and lemon juice; mix until combine, then add in Tabasco if using.
In a large bowl toss the shrimp with the garlic oil until evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour (tossing the shrimp a few times while marinating).
Meanwhile soak the wooden skewers in cold water for at least 3o minutes or more.
Preheat grill to medium heat, then lightly oil the grill grate.
Thread the shrimp onto the wooden skewers.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until opaque.
Serve with lemon wedges.
