Michael Symon Grilled Shrimp Recipe
Michael Symon’s grilled shrimp is a mouthwatering way to enjoy this popular seafood with a smoky, savory kick! Using a brown sugar and smoked paprika marinade, these shrimp get a char that enhances their natural sweetness and texture. You’ll want to let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes but no more than 3 hours for the best flavor infusion. Grilling the shrimp on skewers not only makes them easy to handle but also ensures even cooking.
