BBQ Shrimp Ingredients

Method

BBQ Shrimp Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade mixture. Toss the shrimp in the marinade until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    While the shrimp is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and glowing. If using a gas grill, allow it to preheat for about 10-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Shrimp

    Once the shrimp have marinated, thread them onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to avoid burning on the grill.

  5. 5

    Grill the Shrimp

    Place the skewers on the grill. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
