  • 1 lb (450g) jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil

  • 1 clove (3g) garlic, grated finely
  • ¼ tsp (1g) cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp (1.5g) salt

Instructions:

  1. Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels to ensure a better crust during searing.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, Old Bay, minced garlic, and smoked paprika.
  3. Add shrimp to the bowl and toss until fully coated; let sit for 5–10 minutes.
  4. Thread 4–5 shrimp per skewer, leaving small gaps between them.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  6. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes without moving to develop grill marks.
  7. Flip the skewers and cook for another 2 minutes until shrimp are opaque and form a 'C' shape.
  8. While shrimp rest for 1 minute, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, grated garlic, cayenne, and salt to create the aioli.
