Ingredients

For the Marinade:
  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • 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 and black pepper to taste
For Grilling:
  • Wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning
  • lemon wedges for serving
  • Optional: melted garlic butter for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Skewering the Shrimp: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!

Notes

  • Quality Ingredients: Start with high-quality, fresh shrimp. The freshness of the seafood will significantly impact the final flavor and texture of the dish.
  • Dry the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel before marinating to prevent excess moisture from diluting the marinade flavors.
  • Marination Time: Allow the shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This gives the flavors a chance to penetrate the shrimp, resulting in a more flavorful end product.
  • Soak Wooden Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the shrimp. This prevents them from burning during grilling.
  • Preheat the Grill: Ensure it is properly preheated before placing the shrimp on it. A hot grill helps sear the shrimp quickly, locking in juices and flavors.
  • Baste During Grilling: Baste the shrimp with the marinade while grilling to add an extra layer of flavor and moisture. Be cautious not to baste too much to avoid flare-ups on the grill.
  • Avoid Overcooking: Shrimp cook quickly, usually in 2-3 minutes per side, depending on their size. Be attentive and avoid overcooking, as this can result in tough and rubbery shrimp.
