Bold & Juicy Grilled Shrimp

This is my go-to shrimp recipe when I want big, bold flavor and minimal prep time. Simply toss jumbo shrimp with a mix of Old Bay Seasoning and pantry ingredients, then char on a sizzling hot grill for just 5 minutes. Enjoy as an easy appetizer, the star of your dinner, or a salad topper – it’s ALL good!

📝 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
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon Morton kosher salt ((Old Bay is quite salty, so omit additional salt if desired.))
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound jumbo (21-25 count) shrimp, tails on, deveined

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat grill to medium-high/high. Clean grates and then rub oil on grates.
2. 2In a low, wide medium-sized bowl, combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, Old Bay, sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. 3Add the shrimp to the bowl and fold gently to coat the shrimp evenly in the seasoned oil.
4. 4Place 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. 5Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top. Awesome with my shrimp dipping sauce!
