  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat (around 500°F). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning.

  3. Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the bowl. Toss until all shrimp are evenly coated.
  4. Thread the seasoned shrimp onto skewers (or use a grill basket if preferred).
  5. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn opaque and curl slightly. Serve hot.
