Grilled Shrimp Recipes


Ingredients:

  • Shrimp: The main protein, ensuring it's fresh and properly cleaned is crucial.
  • Nashville Hot Seasoning: A key ingredient for the spicy flavor. You can buy pre-made or make your own with a blend of cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and other spices.
  • Canola Oil: Used for coating the shrimp before grilling.
  • Scallions: A fresh and flavorful garnish.
  • Melted Butter and Honey: For a sweet and savory glaze.
  • Jalapeño Ranch: A cooling dip to balance the heat of the shrimp. You'll need pickled jalapeños, buttermilk, sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley, dill, lime juice, and brine.

Instructions:

  1. Make the Ranch: Blend all the ranch ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Prep the Shrimp: Coat the shrimp in oil and Nashville Hot Seasoning.
  3. Grill the Shrimp: Grill the shrimp for about 1.5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  4. Glaze the Shrimp: Toss the cooked shrimp in melted butter, honey, and more Nashville Hot Seasoning.
  5. Serve: Garnish with scallions and serve with the jalapeño ranch.

Tips:

  • Adjust the Heat: If you want a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Nashville Hot Seasoning. For a spicier kick, add more.
  • Experiment with Marinades: Try marinating the shrimp in other flavors, like lemon-herb or soy-ginger, before grilling.
  • Grill Alternatives: If you don't have a grill, you can broil or pan-sear the shrimp.
  • Side Dish Ideas: Serve the shrimp with a side of rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
