Ingredients
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat, about 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Soak wooden skewers in water, if using, for 10 minutes, or use metal skewers or a grill basket.
- Peel and devein 1 pound jumbo shrimp. Remove tails, if desired and place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Toss until all of the shrimp is well coated.
- Thread shrimp onto the prepared skewers leaving a small amount of space between each piece for even cooking, or place shrimp in a grill basket.
- Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are no longer translucent and just starting to curl. Serve hot.
Notes
- 1 pound of Jumbo shrimp is 16 to 20 pieces. This recipe is easily doubled, tripled, or quadrupled depending on your needs.
- Serve as a main with sides, add it to a salad or wrap, or turn it into tacos.
