Instructions

1. 1

   Use 1.5 lb of large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on. Pat dry.

2. 2

   Marinate 15 minutes (not longer — acid 'cooks' shrimp): ¼ cup olive oil, juice of 2 lemons, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes.

3. 3

   Thread shrimp onto soaked wooden or metal skewers.

4. 4

   Heat grill, grill pan, or skillet to high heat.

5. 5

   Grill shrimp 90 seconds per side — they cook fast. Don't overcook — shrimp go from juicy to rubbery in seconds.

6. 6

   Squeeze fresh lemon over. Serve immediately over salad, rice, with crusty bread, or in tacos. Pair with garlic aioli for dipping.
