Ingredients
BBQ sauce/marinade:
- 4 tablespoons organic ketchup
- 1½ tablespoons light olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder optional or to taste
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce or to taste
- kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 lime cut into wedges to serve with
Shrimp:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound raw large shrimp peeled and deveined (I like to leave the tails on)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, to garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine all BBQ sauce ingredients. (4 tablespoons organic ketchup, 1½ tablespoons light olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/2 lime, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons hot sauce, Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, and 1/2 lime)
- Place the 1 pound raw large shrimp into a ziploc bag and add in half of the BBQ sauce. Stir through the bag to completely coat. Reserve the remaining sauce untouched to use later on.
- Heat the 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute or so, until pink and opaque.
- Drizzle over the remaining BBQ sauce and allow it to heat up, tossing to coat the shrimp.
- Garnish with chopped 1 tablespoon fresh parsley.
Notes
- Use raw shrimp instead of pre-cooked shrimp. Do not overcook the shrimp because it will end up dry and rubbery in texture.
- Cook over medium heat and not high heat.
- Use any oil you have available. Avocado oil or grapeseed oil would make great substitutes.
- Make our homemade sauce instead of store-bought. But if you do have a great BBQ sauce that's low in sugar you would like to use, you may use that instead.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- You may marinate the shrimp with the BBQ sauce in a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months until ready to cook.
- Place these BBQ shrimp on skewers and grill outdoors if preferred.
