Black pepper grilled shrimp is a quick, flavorful dish that’s perfect for weeknights or gatherings. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp black peppercorns, crushed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
1. Prep the Shrimp: Rinse shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, paprika, and crushed black pepper until evenly coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the fridge for deeper flavor).
2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Shrimp: Thread shrimp onto skewers (if using wood skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first to prevent burning). Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until shrimp turn pink and opaque, with slight char marks. Avoid overcooking—shrimp cook quickly!
4. Serve Immediately: Transfer shrimp to a platter, squeeze fresh lemon juice over them, and sprinkle with extra black pepper if desired. Pair with rice, salad, or crusty bread.
Tips: For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the marinade. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days—reheat gently in a pan to avoid toughness. Enjoy this zesty, crowd-pleasing dish!
