Crispy Seasoned Shrimp on the Grill - Weekend Recipe

With the weather the way it has been, I feel like I am rushing things by suggesting you get out the grill, but seriously it is Spring and we need some outdoor time.  This light flavorful shrimp dish is perfect.  Serve the skewers over a bed of couscous or quinoa or Arborio rice and enjoy with a side salad.

Crispy Seasoned Shrimp on the Grill

2 lbs. medium shrimp, shelled and deveined

2 Tbls. olive oil, divided

2 Tbls. vegetable oil

1-2 Tbls. BYP SEAFOOD SEASONING or ITALIAN SEASONING

1/2-1 tsp. granulated garlic

1/2-1 tsp. salt, optional

1/4-1/2 tsp. black pepper, fresh ground

1 cup bread crumbs

16-24 wooden skewers, depending on shrimp size

Directions:

Place the shrimp in a bowl. Add the vegetable oil and 1 TB. olive oil and toss to coat. Add the Herb Seasonings, garlic, salt and pepper and mix well. Add the bread crumbs and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2-6 hours. So the ends of the skewers don’t burn off, soak them in water for the last hour the shrimp are in the fridge. Spray or brush the grill grate with oil before heating the grill so the breading doesn’t stick. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers. Use 4 shrimp per skewer. Be careful that the bread crumbs don’t fall off while skewering. If there is a lot of breading leftover in the bowl, press it into the shrimp wherever it looks to need some. Sprinkle the skewers with the remaining olive oil and grill over medium coals until thoroughly cooked, 6-8 minutes, turning the skewers at least once to cook evenly.
