Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle pepper
- 1 pound large shrimp (deveined and shelled)
Instructions
- Prep: Ensure grill grates are clean and preheat grill to medium-high heat (Approx. 400-450℉).
- Make Seasoning: In a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon paprika, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon chipotle pepper. Mix to combine.
- Season + Skewer: Pat 1 pound large shrimp dry with a clean paper towel and season generously with Blackened Seasoning (shrimp should be fully coated). Taking a metal skewer, pierce the shrimp through the tail and then again through the thickest part and slide all the way to the bottom. Continue until all the shrimp are skewered.
- Grill: Give the hot grates a quick spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place the shrimp skewers directly on the greased, hot grates and cook over direct heat for 2 minutes. Flip and let cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Shrimp is done cooking when the meat is pink and no longer translucent.
- Rest + Serve: Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy – we love using these in our Grilled Shrimp Salad!
Notes
Leaving tails on is optional. Use metal skewers or soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes to reduce charring. Fresh or frozen shrimp both work; fully thaw frozen shrimp in cold water before patting dry.
