How to Make Amazing Spicy Grilled Shrimp
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference), 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon chili sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and the juice of 1 lemon.
- Set aside approximately 1/3 of the marinade for basting during grilling.
- Place 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp in the bag. Seal and gently toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.)
- Discard any remaining marinade from the bag.
- Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque, basting frequently with the reserved marinade. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
