Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use 1/4 if sensitive to spice)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice (from about 1/2 small lemon)
1 pound shrimp
Canola or vegetable oil for the grill

Steps:

Preheat an indoor grill pan or outdoor grill to high. To cook the shrimp in the oven, preheat the broiler. If broiling, line a sheet pan with foil and coat with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the seasoning ingredients: garlic powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and cayenne. Drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice and stir into a paste.
Add the shrimp and toss to coat. If using smaller shrimp, thread them on metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 1 hour. Brush the grill or grill pan with canola oil. Grill or broil the shrimp, just until pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once half way through (discard the extra liquid/spices that is left at the bottom of the bowl). Serve immediately.

SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP

Categories appetizer

Time 3h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

8 extra-large shrimp, peeled
Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 15 to 30 minutes
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 shallot, sliced thin
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons mustard powder
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dry thyme
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano

Steps:

Combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add the shrimp, cover, and chill for approximately 3 hours.
Meanwhile, combine the spice rub ingredients and set aside.
To cook: Remove the shrimp from the marinade, skewer onto bamboo skewers, and season with a pinch of the spice rub. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the shrimp for 2 1/2 minutes on each side.

Tips:

Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a more delicate flavor and texture than frozen shrimp.
Clean the shrimp properly: Remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp. Devein the shrimp by making a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp and removing the dark vein.
Use a flavorful spice rub: The spice rub in this recipe is made with a combination of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. You can adjust the amount of each spice to suit your taste.
Let the shrimp marinate in the spice rub for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the spice rub to penetrate the shrimp.
Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from overcooking.
Do not overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will not cook evenly.
Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp are best served hot off the grill or out of the pan.

Conclusion:

This recipe for shrimp spice rub is a great way to add flavor to your shrimp. The spice rub is easy to make and can be used on shrimp of any size. The shrimp can be grilled, roasted, or pan-fried. They are a delicious and healthy addition to any meal.
