Blackened Shrimp Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Shrimp

   In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.

2. 2

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your wood grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it reaches a temperature of about 400°F (200°C).

3. 3

   Grill the Shrimp

   Once the grill is hot, place the shrimp on the grill grates. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and have grill marks. Be careful not to overcook them.

4. 4

   Make the Garlic Red-Chile Butter

   In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

5. 5

   Combine and Serve

   Remove the shrimp from the grill and drizzle the garlic red-chile butter over them. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top before serving.
