Longhorn Steakhouse Redrock Grilled Shrimp Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by combining melted butter, honey, smoked paprika, chili powder or cayenne pepper, garlic powder, tomato paste, and seasonings to form the marinade. Peeled and deveined shrimp are patted dry to ensure the marinade adheres well and then tossed with the mixture. After refrigerating for at least 30 minutes, the shrimp are threaded evenly on soaked wooden skewers to prevent burning.
Grilling over medium-high heat takes 2-3 minutes per side, during which the shrimp turn opaque and develop grill marks. Basting with remaining marinade enhances moisture and flavor, but care is taken to avoid overcooking and toughening the shrimp. The process achieves a tender yet slightly charred exterior with a vibrant spice profile.
The shrimp can be served with lemon wedges and optionally melted garlic butter, emphasizing the citrus and buttery notes alongside the grilling spices. This dish is suitable as an appetizer or part of a main course.
Using fresh shrimp and pre-soaked skewers are important quality and safety points. Preheating the grill and controlling basting minimize flare-ups and cooking errors. Adjusting the chili to taste allows personalization of heat level.
Ingredients
For the Marinade:
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined, jumbo
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder or cayenne pepper, adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For Grilling:
- wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning
- lemon wedges for serving
- butter optional; melted; garlic; for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine melted butter, honey, smoked paprika, chili powder or cayenne pepper, garlic powder, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Pat the shrimp dry before marinating to prevent excess moisture from diluting the flavors of the marinade. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
- Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Skewering the Shrimp: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Grilling the Shrimp: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp turns opaque and develops grill marks. Baste the shrimp with any remaining marinade while grilling for added flavor. Be cautious not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough.
- Serving: Once the shrimp are grilled to perfection, remove them from the skewers and arrange on a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled shrimp for a citrus flavor. Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as white rice, vegetables, or a simple salad. Enjoy this wholesome meal!
