Ingredients
-
1 pound raw 31/40 shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1.5 TBS smoked paprika
6 gloves garlic, finely chopped
3 TBS fresh thyme, finely chopped
salt and pepper
Tips
The original recipe called for ground ancho chili powder, which I was out of at the time. I substituted smoked paprika instead. The original recipe also called for a garlic oil finishing sauce, which I eliminated to reduce the calories and also because I felt it doesn't really need it.
I serve this with grilled mushrooms, onions and snow peas.
Directions
Combine olive oil, paprika, garlic and thyme in a small bowl. Peel and devein shrimp. In larger bowl, combine marinade with shrimp. Set aside for 30 minutes, covered, at room temperature. Soak 8-10 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes as well.
Pre-heat gas grill to medium high. Remove skewers from water. Thread 5 to 6 shrimps on each skewer in a "C" formation, making sure you get the tail and the body on the skewer. Place on platter. Once all the shrimp are threaded, lightly season with salt and ground black pepper.
Discard any remaining marinade.
Cook on medium-high for 1.5-2 minutes per side, or until shrimp are no longer translucent. Be careful not to overcook else the shrimp will be rubbery.
Remove from grill and serve with your favorite grilled vegetables.
Serving Size: Makes four servings (12 shrimp each)
