Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • ⅓ cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ – 1 tsp salt (based on taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instruction:

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. You can also use an indoor grill pan. Make sure to lightly grease your grill by spraying or dipping paper towels in oil and spreading them across the grill.
  2. Add the shrimp to a large mixing bowl along with 3 Tbsp of BBQ sauce, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Save the rest of the BBQ sauce to brush onto the shrimp later.
  3. Thread 5 to 6 shrimp onto each grilling skewer. If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes, so they do not burn on the grill.
  4. Grill the shrimp for about 2 minutes on the first side. Flip and brush the grilled side with extra bbq sauce.
  5. Grill the second side for an additional 2 – 3 minutes. Once done, remove from the grill and brush both sides again with the remaining bbq sauce. NOTE: Shrimp cook quickly, so make sure you don’t overcook them, or they will be rubbery and tough.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

FAQ

How do you cook shrimp on a BBQ grill?

The shrimp should be grilled over direct, medium heat for 5-7 minutes, turning the shrimp halfway through the process. When the shrimp is cooked, the outside should turn a nice pink color while the meat inside should be white and opaque.

How long does it take to barbecue shrimp on the grill?

The shrimp should be defrosted (if frozen), placed in a bowl, drizzled with olive oil, and sprinkled with kosher salt. The shrimp should be grilled for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until bright pink and cooked through.

How do you keep shrimp moist on the grill?

The secret to succulent grilled shrimp is full-fat yogurt; its acidity gently tenderizes the shrimp before grilling and serves as an effective vehicle for seasoning it with fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon juice; while the fat from the yogurt prevents the shrimp from drying out on the grill.
