Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 large garlic cloves (finely minced)
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound jumbo (I use 21-25 count raw shrimp, tails on and deveined)

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat grill to medium-high/high. Clean grates and then rub oil on grates.

  2. 2

    In a low, wide medium-sized bowl, combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, Old Bay, sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Add the shrimp to the bowl and fold gently to coat the shrimp evenly in the seasoned oil.

  4. 4

    Place shrimp on the hot grill grates and cook for 3 minutes, or until they have some char. Flip shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes, or just until shrimp are no longer translucent. Take care to not overcook. Smaller shrimp will take less time. 

  5. 5

    Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
