Ingredients

• 1 pound Large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Your favorite hot BBQ sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, add the shrimp, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat the shrimp evenly with the spices.

Step 2

Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Make sure the cooking surface is hot before you begin grilling.

Step 3

If using a grill, thread the seasoned shrimp onto skewers for easier handling. Alternatively, you can cook them directly on the hot skillet.

Step 4

Grill or cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are opaque and develop a good char. Avoid overcooking, as shrimp can become rubbery.

Step 5

During the last minute of cooking, brush each shrimp generously with the hot BBQ sauce using a basting brush.

Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the grill or skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chili flakes for an extra burst of heat, if desired.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
