This spicy grilled shrimp recipe is an easy, but impressive, seafood dish. A few hours in the spicy marinade, and these shrimp are ready for the fire. The recipe calls for shell-on shrimp for extra flavor, but these grilled shrimp can be done with peeled ones as well.

Serves 6 Portions of Spicy Grilled Shrimp

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce
  • 1/2 bunch Italian parsley, chopped

  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds large shrimp, deveined, but un-peeled (sold as "ready to peel")
  • bamboo skewers, soaked overnight in water

Preparation:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, hot sauce, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, ketchup, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Place the shrimp in a large zip top plastic bag, and pour in the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for 2 hours.
