Ingredients:

  • 1 clove garlic, minced (approximately 5g)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sea salt (approximately 15g)
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper (approximately 1g)
  • 1 tsp paprika (approximately 2g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (approximately 30ml)
  • 2 tsp lemon juice (approximately 10ml)
  • 2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (approximately 900g)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the broiler to low. If your broiler is inside your oven, place the rack 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) to keep finished shrimp warm as you work in batches. If your broiler is a drawer under your oven, simply preheat the broiler.
  2. In the small bowl, crush or mince the garlic. Mix well with the salt. Stir in the cayenne pepper and paprika. Add the olive oil and lemon juice, whisking until a paste forms.
  3. Place the shrimp in the large bowl. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly, ensuring each shrimp is nicely covered.
  4. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers. Don’t overcrowd; leave a small space between each shrimp.
  5. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the skewers on the baking sheet. Broil 4 inches from the heat source for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Monitor closely to prevent burning. Shrimp are done when they curl into a C shape.
  6. Remove from broiler and serve immediately.
