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.

Tips:

Choose the right shrimp. For this recipe, medium or large shrimp work best. Avoid using extra-large shrimp, as they can be tough.
Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil has a delicious flavor that will complement the shrimp.
Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
Add some spice to your life! This recipe calls for a generous amount of cayenne pepper, but you can adjust the amount to your liking. If you like things really spicy, you can also add some red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños.
Serve immediately. Spicy shrimp is best served immediately, while it's still hot and crispy.

This spicy shrimp recipe is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and flavorful meal. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and coated in a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with rice or your favorite side dish and enjoy!
