directions

  • In a 1 gal plastic food bag place shrimp and olive oil, toss to coat, sprinkle enough rub to 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!

  1. This is AWESOME!!! Just got a new grill and wanted the right recipe to celebrate and break it in. Only thing we did different is to grill them in a basket instead of on skewers. The adults loved them and even the kids loved them. Thank you so much for sharing!!!! Update: I used this on wild caught Salmon and WOW it was fantastic on that too!
     
  2. Simple and delicious. I picked up shrimp that had already had the shells removed so was trying to find a well-rated recipe that would work without drying them out. This simple take did the trick. The shrimp turned out plump, juicy and delish.<br/><br/>My Italian seasoning blend had salt in it -- plus I had garlic salt so I might cut back on the sodium a little next time but otherwise...SOLD! You shared a winner Steve_G. Thanks!
     
  3. This recipe is sooo yummy! I will definitly hold on to this one!
     
  4. Excellent! Our middle daughter has been broadening her horizons and agreed to try shrimp so I decided to make this recipe. It had a little zing to it, not very spicy. The kids all liked it but said it was spicy. What do they know? ;o) Husband and I thought it was excellent and ate far too many. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  5. Steve this rub is amazing!! I only had a pound of medium shrimp so I halved the recipe and only used half of that on the shrimp. It was delicious. I did find it alittle salty from the garlic salt though. Then I wanted to do chicken last night and decided to do the same technique. I loved it with the chicken! I had 2 small breasts and 6 chicken legs. Marinated them for about 2 hrs. I am going to make a batch of this up and keep it in a sealed container. I think I will omit the garlic salt. For those of you asking about where the spicy flavor was. Paprika comes in 2 flavors, sweet and smoky. If you use the smokey flavored one it isn't so much as spicy as it gives it a smooth smokey kinda heat to dishes. Not sure which one Steve used but I used the regular sweet that you readily find. The smokey one is alittle harder to find in the regular grocery store. Awesome rub that I will be using alot!

  1. These were fantastic! I halved the amount of spices because most reviews said they only used half - and used dried cilantro instead of the Italian seasoning (personal preference). Also halved the amount of sugar for personal preference. Turned out great! This will probablty be my go-to grilled shrimp recipe.
     
  2. Wow we thought these were spicey. I followed the recipe as written other then I used canola oil instead of olive oil as that is all I had. I marinated them for about three hours. I dumped them all into a pan and cooked like that. They were a bit spicey for my family. I washed some of the rub off and then we really enjoyed them. They were very easy to make.
     
  3. Just to add a little more depth, I opted to use palm sugar instead of the brown sugar, and fresh garlic instead of the garlic powder. Other than thatm followed everything to a T, and we got a delicious dish for dinner. Thank you yet again for another wonderful posting.
