GRILLED GULF SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to medium heat.
• Slide the shrimp onto skewers, putting 4 shrimp on each. Sprinkle the skewers with salt and pepper. Grill the shrimp until they are opaque and fully cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the shrimp from the grill and brush with barbeque sauce. Serve immediately.

OLD BAY MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Juice half of the lemon and add the juice to a medium glass bowl. Finely grate the garlic and add to the bowl along with the Old Bay seasoning, olive oil and shrimp. Toss to combine.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and reserve for serving.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
• Serve the shrimp with the reserved lemon wedges and hot sauce.
