Spanish Garlic Shrimp Recipe

 

INGREDIENTS

• 1⁄4

  cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2

  cloves garlic, minced
• 2

  teaspoons shallots, minced
• 3⁄4

  teaspoon cumin
• 1

  teaspoon hot paprika
• 1 1⁄2

  lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined,shells left intact
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 2

  tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2

  tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
• 1

  teaspoon fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the grill over high heat.
• In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, shallots, cumin, paprika, about 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Sometimes to off set the spice I like a tad of sweetness. I will use a squirt of RAW honey or a teaspoon of monkfruit.
• Add the shrimp and stir to coat the shrimp thoroughly.
• Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
• Using a small grate grill rack, grill the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes per side or until pink and just cooked through.
• (If you don't have a small grill rack you can also thread the shrimp on skewers to prevent them from falling through your rack.) Remove from the grill and garnish with cilantro and parsley.
• Squeeze lemon juice over the top of the shrimp and serve.
