Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, barbecue sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the shrimp are evenly coated. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
-
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp to ensure even cooking.
-
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough.
-
Once the shrimp are cooked through, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
-
Serve the barbecued shrimp hot off the grill alongside your favorite sides, such as a crisp green salad, buttery corn on the cob, or fluffy garlic bread.
