SMOKY PAPRIKA GRILLED SHRIMP

This dish is perfect for grilling enthusiasts looking for a quick and healthy seafood option. The shrimp are lightly coated in olive oil, smoked paprika, salt and garlic powder, which enhances their natural flavours while adding a subtle kick of spice. Grilling the shrimp over high heat ensures a lightly charred exterior while keeping them juicy inside. This dish is not only delicious but also packed with lean protein and healthy fats, making it an excellent addition to a balanced diet. Serve these Smoky Paprika Grilled Shrimp on skewers over a salad or as a taco filling for a flavourful meal that’s ready in minutes.

TIPS

 

  • Best Shrimp To Use: Fresh or frozen shrimp both work, but fresh shrimp yield better texture and flavour. If using frozen, thaw completely before grilling.
  • Avoid Overcooking: Shrimp cook quickly, so remove them from heat as soon as they turn opaque to avoid a rubbery texture.
  • Marinate For Extra Flavour: Let the shrimp rest in the seasoning for 10-15 minutes before grilling for deeper flavour.
  • Alternative Cooking Methods: If you don’t have a grill, pan-sear the shrimp in a hot skillet or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes.
  • Pairing Ideas: Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, a quinoa salad or whole wheat tacos.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
  • Citrus Twist: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the shrimp before serving.
  • Herb Infusion: Toss with chopped parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
  • Butter Grilled: Replace olive oil with melted butter for a richer flavour.
  • Asian-Style: Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil instead of olive oil.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Refrigeration: Store cooked shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze grilled shrimp in a sealed bag for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • Reheating: Warm shrimp gently in a skillet over medium heat or microwave for 20-30 seconds.
