Shrimp Ingredients:
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined 🦐
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 🫒
4 garlic cloves, minced 🧄
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 🌶️
1/2 tsp smoked paprika 🌶️
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste 🧂
Lemon-Herb Aioli Ingredients:
1/2 cup mayonnaise 🥄
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 🍋
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped 🌿
1 tbsp garlic, finely minced 🧄
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste 🧂
Instructions:
Marinate the shrimp:
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss them in the mixture to coat evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Grill the shrimp:
Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are perfectly cooked and have nice grill marks.
Immediately sprinkle the cooked shrimp with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a cheesy, savory finish.
Prepare the aioli:
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving:
Place the grilled shrimp on a platter. Drizzle with the tangy lemon-herb aioli or serve the aioli on the side as a dip.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve and enjoy the perfect blend of spice, cheese, and creamy goodness! 🍤🍋
