Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- 2
Marinate the Shrimp

Prepare the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Skewer the Shrimp
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.
- 5
Grill the Shrimp
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Serve
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside grilled vegetables.
