Grilled Shrimp with Italian Herbs & Cayenne Pepper
Juicy grilled shrimp seasoned with Italian herbs and a spicy kick of cayenne pepper.
Ingredients
Method
- Thaw shrimp overnight.
- Preheat an indoor grill pan or outdoor grill to high. To cook the shrimp in the oven, preheat the broiler. If broiling, line a sheet pan with foil and coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the seasoning ingredients: garlic powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and cayenne. Drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice and stir into a paste.
- Add the shrimp and toss to coat. If using smaller shrimp, thread them on metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 1 hour. Brush the grill or grill pan with canola oil. Grill or broil the shrimp, just until pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once half way through (discard the extra liquid/spices that is left at the bottom of the bowl). Serve immediately.
Notes
To pan cook, spray large pan with olive oil spray and turn the burner on to medium heat. Place shrimp in pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
