  • 1 green onion, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to a medium high heat and oil the grill grates.
  • Combine the olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Brush on both sides of the shrimp.

Notes

Grill times can vary depending on flame temperature and shrimp size. 
Shrimp cook very quickly. Overcooked shrimp can be tough. Raw shrimp are translucent and gray. They will turn opaque with reddish or pink tints as they cook. Watch the crevice in the back of the shrimp where the vein was removed and AS SOON as the flesh at the base of that crevice turns from translucent to opaque, the shrimp is done.
