Quick Grilled Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for very high heat.
• Curl each shrimp into a C shape, and skewer through the neck and tail; you should be able to fit 5 on each skewer. Brush the shrimp with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the lemon halves on the grill cut-sides down. Lay the skewers flat on the grill and grill, covered, for 90 seconds. Flip the skewers and grill, covered, until grill marks appear on the shrimp, about 1 minute. Transfer the skewers to a plate, squeeze the grilled lemon halves over the top and serve.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, sugar, cayenne, and salt in a small bowl; stir until marinade is well mixed.
• Thread shrimp on metal skewers and pat dry. Brush with marinade and refrigerate.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook shrimp on the hot grill until the edges begin to turn white, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and continue grilling until shrimp is white and no longer translucent, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Build a medium-high fire in a charcoal or gas grill, making sure that the grate is clean and clear of debris. (Shrimp will stick to a dirty grate.)
• If you like, thread the shrimp onto skewers. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Rub them lightly with olive oil, and place the shrimp on the grill directly over the heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly golden.
• Flip the skewers and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Take care not to overcook. Remove to a plate. A squeeze of lemon over the shrimp might be nice.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat.
• In a small bowl, crush the garlic with the salt. Mix in cayenne pepper and paprika, and then stir in olive oil and lemon juice to form a paste. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with garlic paste until evenly coated.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve.
