Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon Brown Sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon crushed Garlic or 1 Garlic Clove thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon Dried Basil
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
- ¼ – ½ teaspoon Salt, adjust to taste
- 1 lb Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large Ziploc bag or a glass bowl, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, dried basil, black pepper, and salt. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create the marinade.
- Marinate the Shrimp: Add the cleaned and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Seal the bag and shake well to ensure all shrimp are evenly coated. If using a bowl, stir the mixture using your hand or a spoon. Allow the shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Broil the Shrimp: After marination, preheat the broiler and set the oven rack about 5-6 inches from the heat source. Drain the shrimp and discard the marinade. Arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil for 10 minutes or until the shrimp curl up and turn pink. Remember to turn the shrimp halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve: Once cooked, transfer the shrimp to a platter, garnishing as desired, and serve immediately to enjoy their full flavor and zesty appeal.
