Now that my blogging siesta is complete, I'm coming back strong with my take on grilled shrimp.
This is the perfect appetizer to almost any meal. Start with some fresh shrimp with the shell on. I try to stay away from precooked shrimp...they are always bad. I got these babies from Shop Rite.
To prepare them I coated them with the following:
1) Paprika powder
2) Chili powder
3) Kosher salt
4) A few fresh crushed garlic cloves
5) Pepper
6) Splash of lemon juice (I would have used lime if I had it)
7) Olive oil
Let the shrimp marinade in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
To grill them get your coals nice and hot. You may want to soak the wooden skewers ahead of time so they don't burn as easily. Skewer the shrimp and place directly over the coals. They wont need more than a copuple of minutes on each side. The shell will get nice and crispy.
At this point you can peel and eat...but to be honest I eat them shell and all!
