BBQ Shrimp Recipe
Easy barbecue shrimp recipe that uses a simple dry rub, jumbo shrimp, and just a little olive oil. I use skewers to hold everything together on a grill or grill pan.
Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons BBQ seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt if needed
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- 4 to 6 wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 10 minutes
- Avocado oil as needed, for grill grates
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, BBQ seasoning, and salt. Toss the shrimp in the mixture to coat well. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
- Thread the marinated shrimp onto the prepared skewers. Make sure to thread the top and bottom of the shrimp so they stay in place while grilling. Set them aside while you preheat the grill.
- If using a grill pan, grease lightly with a high-heat oil, then preheat for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. If using a gas grill, preheat to medium (350°F), then grill the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side with the lid open.

Notes
Storage: Store leftover grilled shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat in a warm pan over medium heat briefly (but thoroughly) so it doesn't get rubbery.
