Spicy Barbecue Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat.
• In a small bowl, crush the garlic with the salt. Mix in cayenne pepper and paprika, and then stir in olive oil and lemon juice to form a paste. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with garlic paste until evenly coated.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add the shrimp, cover, and chill for approximately 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine the spice rub ingredients and set aside.
• To cook: Remove the shrimp from the marinade, skewer onto bamboo skewers, and season with a pinch of the spice rub. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the shrimp for 2 1/2 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Set up your grill for even medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the coals evenly. If using a gas grill, heat both sides evenly.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, paprika, salt, cumin, coriander, cayenne and lime zest and juice. Add the shrimp and allow to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature and up to 3 hours refrigerated.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade and place on a cooling rack in a single layer. Put the cooling rack on the grill and cook the shrimp, pulling the cooling rack off the grill to flip them, until charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• To serve: Add the shrimp to a platter and garnish with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Shell the shrimp, leaving the tails intact.
• Make a shallow cut lengthwise down the back of shrimp; wash out and de-vein.
• With rubber gloves, remove seeds from pepper and cut into 12 slivers.
• Make a shallow cut into the underside of each shrimp and insert a piece of pepper.
• Wrap each shrimp with a bacon strip.
• Thread 3 bacon/shrimp bundles onto each skewer, leaving a small space between bundles; baste with barbecue sauce.
• Grill uncovered over medium coals for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Turn, baste, and grill an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp and shrimp has turned pink.
• Serve on lettuce-lined plates with onion and additional barbecue sauce.

Steps:

• Peel shrimp and set aside while making marinade.
• Combine all ingredients except shrimp and mix well.
• Add shrimp to marinade mixture and toss thoroughly to coat.
• Marinate shrimp for at least one hour.
• Preheat gas grill for 30 minutes.
• While grill is preheating place 10 shrimp on each skewer.
• Place skewers on grill and cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are pink and lightly charred on both side being careful not to overcook.
