Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp:

  • 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on, optional)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

For the Lemon-Herb Aioli:

  • ½ cup (120ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions

Make the Lemon-Herb Aioli:

  1. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley, and dill (if using).
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Prepare the Shrimp:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the shrimp and toss until fully coated. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Grill the Shrimp:

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using) or place them directly on the grill.
  3. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and slightly charred. Avoid overcooking.

Serve:

  1. Arrange the grilled shrimp on a platter and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and the chilled lemon-herb aioli for dipping.

 

Notes

  • For added smoky flavor, grill a few lemon halves alongside the shrimp and squeeze over before serving.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables.
