This Grilled Shrimp Recipe is a nice modernized version of the old classic shrimp cocktail. Simplicity at its best, so quick and easy, yet very yummy!
The shrimp turn out plump, juicy and delish. I added a little cayenne for some heat.
I love these shrimp and everybody that’s tried them loves them as well.
Watch ’em disappear!

This Grilled Shrimp is the most elegant thing I've ever served at a backyard BBQ. It's the Perfect accompaniment for a big ole grilled ribeye steak!
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil give or take
- 2 lbs medium shrimp peeled and deveined (U-25s ( I buy them peeled and deveined)
-
In a 1 gal plastic food bag place shrimp and olive oil, toss to coat, sprinkle enough rub to lightly coat the shrimp. The bag should look dark red. Refrigerate for 1-4 hrs, the longer you wait the hotter they'll be.
-
Light the grill and while it's heating place shrimp on skewers.
-
When coals are very hot, clean the area that the shrimp will be on and rub with a bit of canola oil on a rag (use a mitt please).
-
Immediately place shrimp on greased grill for 2-3 minutes, turn and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
Remove from skewers and serve hot. No dipping sauce required.
-
This rub works well on chicken wings too!
Enjoy this grilled shrimp recipe!
