Easy Grilled Shrimp Ingredients

• 1 pound of jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

How to Make Grilled Shrimp

Step 1:

Add the shrimp in a large mixing bowl, followed by the olive oil and lemon juice. Mix until well-coated.

Step 2:

Season the shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss everything to coat. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate while preheating the grill. If you are going to use wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes before adding the shrimp.

Step 3:

Preheat your grill to high heat until it reaches 500F.

Step 4:

You can thread the shrimp onto skewers to cook, or you can place them directly on your grill. Make sure your shrimp won’t fall through the grates if you are not using wooden skewers.

Step 5:

Cook them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they are no longer translucent. Serve hot. Enjoy!
