• Cook on the preheated grill until pink on the outside and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Set up your grill for even medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the coals evenly. If using a gas grill, heat both sides evenly.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, paprika, salt, cumin, coriander, cayenne and lime zest and juice. Add the shrimp and allow to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature and up to 3 hours refrigerated.
• Remove the shrimp from the marinade and place on a cooling rack in a single layer. Put the cooling rack on the grill and cook the shrimp, pulling the cooling rack off the grill to flip them, until charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• To serve: Add the shrimp to a platter and garnish with lime wedges.

NEW ORLEANS-STYLE BARBECUED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots are soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon slices and cook until they begin to brown, about 1 minute longer, then stir in the shrimp, paprika, thyme, black pepper and salt. Add the Worcestershire sauce and 3 tablespoons water and bring the liquid to a simmer.
• Cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the butter cubes and swirl the pan to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer until the shrimp are pink and just opaque all the way through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with lots of napkins and some crusty bread for sopping up the sauce.

GRILLED BBQ BACON SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• Soak skewers in water while preparing the BBQ sauce. In a medium saucepan melt butter and saute onions and jalapeno, until tender. Season with cayenne, and salt and pepper. Add ginger, brown sugar, orange juice and ketchup in that order making sure to blend each ingredient completely before adding the next ingredient. Let simmer until the edges begin to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Once cool, remove half of the sauce and reserve for dipping. The other half is for brushing on the shrimp when grilling. Cut bacon in thirds. Thread each shrimp onto a skewer, starting from the tail end. Bend the shrimp as you thread it so it lies in 1 straight line on the skewer, removing its natural curve. Wrap the center of each shrimp with a piece of bacon. Brush with BBQ sauce and place skewers with bacon, seam side down, onto the grill. Cook over medium heat until bacon crisps and shrimp is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
