Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Tbsp Finely Chopped Garlic
  • 16 oz Fresh Shrimp, cleaned, peeled, and deveined
  • 1 Lemon, freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Pat the shrimp dry to ensure a good sear on the Blackstone grill. Finely chop the garlic and parsley, and have your lemon ready to juice.
Step 2: Heat the Grill
  1. Turn on your Blackstone grill and let it heat up. You’ll want it to be nice and hot for that perfect sear. This is crucial.
Step 3: Melt the Butter
  1. Melt the unsalted butter over the heat. Add the chopped garlic immediately to infuse the butter with flavor. You'll want to be vigilant here—burnt garlic can ruin your dish.
Step 4: Sauté the Shrimp
  1. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the shrimp to the grill. Season them with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 2-3 minutes without stirring. This helps to get that nice golden sear.
Step 5: Flip and Juice
  1. Flip the shrimp and squeeze the lemon juice over them. Allow them to cook for another 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Don’t overcook, or they will become rubbery!
Step 6: Finish Up
  1. Once the shrimp are done, sprinkle with fresh parsley. Give it a quick toss on the grill to combine everything together. Serve immediately. Enjoy the deliciousness!

Notes

  • Fresh Shrimp is Key: Always use fresh shrimp when possible. Frozen works, but make sure to properly thaw them beforehand.
  • Watch the Cook Time: Shrimp cook quickly. Once they turn pink, they’re done.
  • Don’t Crowd the Grill: If you overcrowd the shrimp, they’ll steam instead of sear. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add your favorite spices or herbs. Thyme, oregano, or chili flakes can enhance the flavor profile.
  • Serve Immediately: Shrimp are best enjoyed fresh off the grill. They can become rubbery if left to sit.
