Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp (large, peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 1 whole lemon (zest and juice)
- 1 clove garlic (minced or grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Set aside while making the herbed mayonnaise.
To prepare the herbed mayonnaise, combine mayonnaise, chopped parsley, chopped dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and hot sauce (if using) in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Place the shrimp under the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque, slightly golden, and curled into a 'C' shape (do not overcook).
Transfer the broiled shrimp to a serving platter and serve immediately with the herbed mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
Garnish with extra parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon, if desired. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
