Instructions: How to Make the Grilled Shrimp Bowl
1. Prepare the Shrimp:
Start by preparing the shrimp. In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Grill the Shrimp:
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill, skewer the shrimp to make flipping them easier, or if you prefer, you can grill them directly on the grill. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as shrimp can become tough if left on the grill too long. Once done, remove the shrimp from the grill and set them aside.
