Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 tablespoons brown sugar
if you like it hot Optional - 1 to 2 teaspoons of ground up crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil (give or take)
2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (U-25s ( I buy them peeled and deveined)

Steps:

In a 1 gal plastic food bag place shrimp and olive oil, toss to coat, sprinkle enough rub to coat the shrimp.
The bag should look dark red.
Refrigerate for 1-4 hrs, the longer you wait the hotter they'll be.
Light the grill and while it's heating place shrimp on skewers.
When coals are very hot, clean the area that the shrimp will be on and rub with a bit of canola oil on a rag (use a mitt please).
Immediately place shrimp on greased grill for 2-3 minutes, turn and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from skewers and serve hot.
No dipping sauce required.
This rub works well on chicken wings too!

Ingredients

1/3 cup / 80 mL soy sauce
1/4 cup / 60 mL mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
3 tablespoons / 45 mL fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons / 30 mL vegetable oil
2 tablespoon / 30 mL brown sugar

Steps:

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).
Whisk soy sauce, mirin, sugar lemon juice, oil, ginger, and lemon zest in a shallow glass bowl to blend.

Drain marinade into small saucepan and bring to boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove sauce from heat and let cool slightly.

OLD BAY MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP

Old Bay Marinated and Grilled Shrimp image

These shrimp marinate for only 30 minutes in a flavorful mix of lemon juice, garlic and the powerhouse spice blend, Old Bay seafood seasoning. Don't be tempted to let them sit in the sauce any longer than that because the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp and make them tough. Serve with some boiled or roasted potatoes for a grill-lover's version of a shrimp boil.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 large lemon
2 large cloves garlic
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

Juice half of the lemon and add the juice to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the Old Bay seasoning, olive oil and shrimp. Toss to combine.
Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and reserve for serving.
Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
Serve the shrimp with the reserved lemon wedges and hot sauce.

Tips:

Choose the right shrimp: Large shrimp (21-25 count per pound) are best for grilling, as they hold up well to the heat and won't overcook as easily.
Peel and devein the shrimp: This will help the shrimp cook evenly and prevent the shells from becoming tough.
Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will add flavor and help keep the shrimp moist during grilling.
Skewer the shrimp: Skewering the shrimp will help keep them from falling through the grates of the grill.
Grill the shrimp over medium heat: This will help prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and slightly pink in the center: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or salad topping. By following these tips, you can ensure that your grilled shrimp turns out perfectly every time.
