Fish
  • FOR THE SHRIMP SEASONING:

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ⅛ teaspoon allspice

  • FOR THE SHRIMP:

  • 24 large shrimp (21 to 25 per pound)

  • fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • minced fresh parsley

Serves 4
Preheat grill to high heat
Prepare shrimp seasoning by mixing spices together in a small bowl.
Remove the shell from the shrimp. Keep the last segment on the shell and the tail. Remove the black vein that runs down the back of the shrimp. Stick a skewer through the middle of each shrimp. Squeeze some lemon juice over shrimp, then brush melted butter generously over the top of the shrimp. Sprinkle a light coating of the seasoning on the shrimp.
Place the shrimp onto hot grill, with the seasoning side down. Brush some more butter over the other side of the shrimp -- the flames should jump up from the butter. Sprinkle a light coating of seasoning over the shrimp.
After 3 minutes or so, the face-down side of the shrimp should be browned and showing some charring. Flip the shrimp over and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes or until browned on the other side. Sprinkle with a pinch of parsley.
