Ingredients

• 1 pound Raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail-on optional)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (sugar-free)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 skewers Wooden skewers (optional, if grilling on skewers)

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, paprika, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until completely coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 5

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If grilling on skewers, thread the shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a tiny bit of space between each shrimp for even cooking.

Step 6

Once the grill is hot, brush the grates lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred at the edges. Be careful not to overcook.

Step 8

Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them onto a serving platter.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with a side of grilled vegetables or a keto-friendly dipping sauce.
