Maggie’s Menu: Spicy Grilled Shrimp
Maggie's Menu:
It feels like spring in DC! Today I enjoyed my walk to Eastern Market in 70 degree weather and left with shrimp for dinner. I created a less salty take on this recipe and served it with roasted tomatoes, asparagus, and brown rice.
Ingredients:
- 1 large clove garlic
- 1 teaspoons coarse salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 ½ to 2 pounds shrimp, peeled, rinsed and dried
- Lemon wedges
Instructions:
- Heat a gas grill.
- Skewer shrimp.
- Mince garlic with salt; mix with cayenne and paprika, then make into a paste with olive oil and lemon juice.
- Smear paste on both sides of skewered shrimp.
- Lay a piece of non stick covered aluminum foil on the grill and place skewers on top.
- Grill shrimp about 5 minutes a side, turning once until lightly charred.
- Serve immediately or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.
