1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon garlic salt

2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (U-25s ( I buy them peeled and deveined)

Steps:

In a 1 gal plastic food bag place shrimp and olive oil, toss to coat, sprinkle enough rub to coat the shrimp.
The bag should look dark red.
Refrigerate for 1-4 hrs, the longer you wait the hotter they'll be.
Light the grill and while it's heating place shrimp on skewers.
When coals are very hot, clean the area that the shrimp will be on and rub with a bit of canola oil on a rag (use a mitt please).
Immediately place shrimp on greased grill for 2-3 minutes, turn and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from skewers and serve hot.
No dipping sauce required.
This rub works well on chicken wings too!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

16 jumbo shrimp, deveined in shell, raw
Extra-virgin olive oil, about 1/2 cup for brushing
Coarse salt and black pepper
2 lemons, halved

Steps:

Preheat griddle or grill pan over high heat.
Butterfly shrimp by slicing almost through lengthwise, but leave shell on shrimp, this will keep the shrimp tender while grilling over such high heat.
Brush shrimps with oil, season with salt and pepper and grill 2 minutes on each side, until shells are hot pink and shrimp is opaque.
Place lemons on grill the last minute. The heat will release the juice from the lemons. To serve, squeeze grilled lemon wedges over shrimp.

Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp. Fresh shrimp should have a firm, springy texture and a mild, briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy, discolored, or have an off odor.
Clean the shrimp properly. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and devein them if desired. To devein shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow slit along the back of the shrimp, then remove the dark vein.
Marinate the shrimp for flavor. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, spices, and citrus juice will help to enhance their flavor. Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
Serve the shrimp with your favorite sides. Grilled shrimp can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, salad, or vegetables.

Grilled shrimp is a delicious and healthy seafood option that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can grill shrimp perfectly every time.
