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