Garlic Herb Grilled Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons ground paprika
  • 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 2 pounds large shrimp (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined
Instructions
1
Combine paprika, garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, basil, and brown sugar in a bowl until the mixture is perfectly uniform.
2
Add the shrimp to the bowl and mix well, ensuring that each piece is evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, stirring once every hour.
3
Heat up an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grate with oil and position it about 4 inches away from the heat source.
4
Take the shrimp out of the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
5
Place the shrimp on the preheated grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until they are opaque in the center. Serve hot immediately.
