Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound jumbo raw shrimp peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges for serving
Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Heat grill to medium-high/high. Clean grates and then rub oil on grates.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and add them to the bowl with the seasonings. Gently mix until the shrimp is coated with the seasoning.
Place shrimp on the hot grill grates and cook for 3 minutes, or until they have some char. Flip shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes, or just until shrimp are no longer translucent. Take care to not overcook. Smaller shrimp will take less time.
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

Notes

Fridge: Store leftover grilled shrimp in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Freezer: Once shrimp has cooled completely, you can freeze them on a baking sheet before storing in an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Please note that while this method of storing cooked shrimp is totally possible, the texture of the shrimp may change through this process.

To reheat grilled shrimp, I recommend using the stove top. Add a little bit of water and cover the pan with a lid so the shrimp stay juicy. Heat until hot throughout.
