Simple Ingredients

• Large Shrimp or Jumbo Shrimp: Fresh or frozen, peeled, and deveined shrimp provide a succulent and flavorful base for the dish.

• Honey: Honey provides a natural sweetness, balancing the savory and spicy elements in the marinade.
• Smoked Paprika: This spice imparts a smoky and earthy flavor to the marinade, enhancing the overall depth of the dish.
• Chili Powder or Cayenne Pepper: Depending on your preference, chili powder or cayenne pepper adds heat and a subtle kick to the marinade, elevating the dish’s spiciness.

• Black Pepper: Ground black pepper adds a mild heat and complements the other spices, contributing to the overall flavor harmony.

Substitutions

Here are some potential substitutions you can consider for certain ingredients in the Red rock Grilled Shrimp recipe. They all provide an equally tasty end result!

• Shrimp: If you prefer a different type of seafood, you can substitute shrimp with prawns, scallops, or even chunks of firm fish like salmon or swordfish.
• Butter: If you’re looking for a healthier option or a different flavor profile, you can substitute melted butter with olive oil, avocado oil, or melted coconut oil.
• Honey: Agave nectar, maple syrup, or even brown sugar can be used as alternatives to honey. Adjust quantities based on your desired level of sweetness.
• Smoked Paprika: If you don’t have smoked paprika, regular paprika can be used. Alternatively, you can use a combination of regular paprika and a dash of liquid smoke for a similar smoky flavor to the seasoned shrimp. If the spicy flavor is too much simply add less.

Variations

Here are a few variations and creative twists you can explore for the next time you make this delcious meal:

• Tequila Lime Infusion: Replace a portion of the butter with tequila and add fresh lime juice to the marinade. This variation gives the shrimp a zesty and slightly tangy kick. Serve with a lime wedge on the side.
• Pesto Genovese Perfection: Mix a spoonful of pesto (basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and olive oil) to the marinade for a herby and aromatic twist.
• Citrus Zest: Add a burst of freshness by incorporating citrus zest. Consider adding grated orange or lime juice and zest to the marinade for a vibrant citrus flavor.
• Herb Infusion: Introduce a medley of fresh herbs to the marinade. Chopped cilantro, parsley, or dill can add a herbal brightness to the dish.
