Prepare the Shrimp
- Prepare your grill for direct cooking over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper (½ tsp), onion powder, garlic powder (½ tsp), paprika, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Place the shrimp in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil. Sprinkle the seasonings all over them. Toss until they are well coated.
- Skewer all of the shrimp.
- Grill the shrimp, turning once, until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter, hot sauce, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and½ teaspoon black pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering.
- Remove grilled shrimp from the skewers and place them in a clean heat-proof bowl. Pour the sauce over the shrimp. Toss to coat.
- Serve immediately with blue cheese dip and celery.
Notes
- For extra heat, double the amount of cayenne.
- These are definitely best served hot, right from the grill, however, they are still delicious at room temperature.
- The shrimp can also be cooked in a skillet with butter or oil until pink and slightly curled, about 7 to 10 minutes.
