Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes before grilling)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  2. In the bowl with shrimp, add olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat all shrimp evenly. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
  3. While shrimp marinates, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Remove shrimp from marinade, shake off excess liquid. Thread 4-5 shrimp per skewer, leaving space between each.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
  6. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and opaque with grill marks. Avoid overcooking.
  7. Arrange skewers on a platter and drizzle or serve alongside the spicy creamy sauce. Garnish with lime wedges or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Pat shrimp dry before marinating to ensure a good sear. Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning. Watch shrimp closely while grilling to avoid overcooking. Adjust sauce heat by varying Sriracha and cayenne amounts. Sauce can be thinned with lime juice or water if thickened.
