Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 | Extra virgin olive oil |
| 2 | Garlic cloves |
| 2 | Shallots |
| 3/4 | Cumin |
| 1 | Hot paprika |
| 1 1/2 | pounds Medium shrimp |
| Fresh cilantro (for garnish) | |
| Fresh Italian parsley (garnish) | |
| 2 | Fresh lemon juice |
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill over high heat to get it nice and hot for cooking.
-
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic cloves, finely chopped shallots, ground cumin, hot paprika, approximately 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Marinate the Shrimp: Add the medium shrimp to the marinade mixture and stir until all the shrimp are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and infuse into the shrimp.
-
Grill the Shrimp: Once the shrimp have marinated, it’s time to grill them to perfection. If you have a small grate grill rack, use it to grill the shrimp directly over the heat. Grill the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are just cooked through. If you don’t have a small grill rack, you can thread the shrimp onto skewers to prevent them from falling through the grill grates.
-
Garnish and Serve: Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish the shrimp with fresh cilantro and Italian parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top of the shrimp to add a zesty brightness.
-
Enjoy: Serve your Spanish Shrimp hot off the grill as a delightful main dish or appetizer. Pair it with your favorite sides or enjoy it on its own for a flavorful and satisfying meal!
