Grilled Shrimp with Garlic & Herbs

I love this recipe for grilled shrimp. It comes together in a plastic bag. You can even put them on a skewer. This recipe is definitely worth a try. Let me know what you think.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 lbs extra large shrimp, peeled deveined
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon sliced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a large resealable bag, combine all the marinade ingredients and add the shrimp, sealing the bag tightly. Give it a gentle shake or massage to ensure every piece is well-coated in that delicious, flavour-packed mixture.
  2. Pop it in the refrigerator and let the shrimp marinate for at least 20 minutes — just enough time for all the bold flavours to soak in.
  3. While the shrimp is marinating, preheat your grill to high heat. Once hot, place the shrimp directly on the grill grates (or use skewers for easier handling). Grill for 5–6 minutes total, turning occasionally to achieve a beautiful char on all sides.
  4. They’ll be slightly crisp on the edges, juicy inside, and irresistibly smoky. Serve immediately — they don’t wait well!
