SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP



Spicy Grilled Shrimp image

This Mark Bittman recipe from 1999 is big on flavor, but not too much effort. The hardest part is preparing the grill. It calls for just a few spices - garlic, lemon, paprika and cayenne - to yield an intense flavor. Feel free to adjust the cayenne to taste, and pay close attention to your paprika: For best results, make sure it's fresh. If it doesn't taste vibrant and smoky, it's time to buy more.

  • Devein and peel the shrimp. This will help them cook evenly and make them easier to eat.
  • Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes. This will help them absorb the flavors of the marinade and make them more tender.
  • Use a hot grill. This will help the shrimp cook quickly and evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
