Spicy Grilled Shrimp image

This Mark Bittman recipe from 1999 is big on flavor, but not too much effort. The hardest part is preparing the grill. It calls for just a few spices - garlic, lemon, paprika and cayenne - to yield an intense flavor. Feel free to adjust the cayenne to taste, and pay close attention to your paprika: For best results, make sure it's fresh. If it doesn't taste vibrant and smoky, it's time to buy more.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these shrimp were surprisingly good. The spice rub was not too overpowering and the pineapple salsa helped to balance out the heat. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others, even if you're not a fan of s

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my shrimp were really overcooked. The spice rub was good, but the shrimp were just too tough. I'll try this recipe again, but I'll be sure to cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.
