A nice modernized version of the old classic shrimp cocktail. Watch 'em disappear!

SERVES 4 , 1 batch (change servings and units)

Ingredients

For the rub

1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 tablespoons brown sugar

For the shrimp

2 tablespoons olive oil (give or take)
2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (U-25s ( I buy them peeled and deveined)

Directions

1
In a 1 gal plastic food bag place shrimp and olive oil, toss to coat, sprinkle enough rub to lightly coat the shrimp.
2
The bag should look dark red.
3
Refrigerate for 1-4 hrs, the longer you wait the hotter they'll be.
4
Light the grill and while it's heating place shrimp on skewers.
5
When coals are very hot, clean the area that the shrimp will be on and rub with a bit of canola oil on a rag (use a mitt please).
6
Immediately place shrimp on greased grill for 2-3 minutes, turn and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
7
Remove from skewers and serve hot.
8
No dipping sauce required.
9
This rub works well on chicken wings too!

Beautiful color and the spiciness is just right. I served them in short skewers (shrimp-green bell pepper-pineapple-shrimp) and it turns out to be a perfect harmony in both taste and color. That being said, I would not serve them alone. While they're rich in spices, they are a little lack in other flavors. So adding other elements (such as pineapple, bell pepper, onion etc.) that compliment the shrimps is necessary to make the dish 5-star IMO.

Wow we thought these were spicey. I followed the recipe as written other then I used canola oil instead of olive oil as that is all I had. I marinated them for about three hours. I dumped them all into a pan and cooked like that. They were a bit spicey for my family. I washed some of the rub off and then we really enjoyed them. They were very easy to make.

I found nothing in the ingredients to make this dish spicy or hot as predicted in the instructions. I let them marinate all day (about 7 hours). Tasted the marinade, no heat! So I added about 2 teaspoons of cayenne (it could have used even more IMO) These were a GIANT HIT. I used a grill basket that I just sat on a plate in the middle of the table and had cocktail forks on the side.

Excellent! I only marinated for about an hour and the flavor was soooo good. I can't wait to try them again, letting them marinate for longer. I grilled these in a grill pan, so it was even quicker. Thanks for sharing.
