Ingredients

  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
  • ¼ cup hot sauce - we are using Louisiana Hot Sauce use your favorite brand
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Ranch Dressing or Blue Cheese Dressing for serving

Instructions

  •  In a medium bowl, add hot sauce, melted butter, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic and smoked paprika. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Pour marinade over peeled shrimp and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Prepare a grill fire to about 350° using hickory or pecan for smoke flavor. We are cooking on our Big Green Egg with hickory chunks and using a grill pan for the shrimp. If you don’t have a grill pan, thread shrimp onto skewers before grilling.
  • Place shrimp onto the grill pan and spread into a single layer. Cook with the grill closed about 3- 5 minutes.
  • Use a metal spatula to turn the shrimp and continue to cook until shrimp are curled and reach an internal temperature of 145° using a digital meat thermometer.
  • Remove to a serving platter.

Notes

  • Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a buttered skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
