Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail-on optional)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 skewers Wooden skewers (optional, if grilling on skewers)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, paprika, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until completely coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If grilling on skewers, thread the shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a tiny bit of space between each shrimp for even cooking.
Once the grill is hot, brush the grates lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred at the edges. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them onto a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with a side of grilled vegetables or a keto-friendly dipping sauce.
