Primo Grilled Shrimp

Grilling shrimp on the Primo is quick, easy, and delicious.  The shrimp will only need a few minutes on the grill.  We highly recommend buying shell on “USA wild caught” jumbo shrimp- just peel and devein the shrimp with a paring knife while keeping them cold in ice water as you work.

What you’ll need:

1 lb Wild Caught Jumbo Shrimp, peeled and deveined.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 lemon for a finishing sauce.

For the marinade:

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
Assemble all the dry ingredients of the marinade before adding the oil and vinegar.

Assemble all the dry ingredients of the marinade before adding the oil and vinegar.  Stir well. Alternatively, you could process the mixture together to form more of a paste.

Combine the shrimp and marinade together.  Let it rest in the fridge for an hour or two

Prepare the Primo to 400 degrees or so, making sure grate pre-heats with the grill to get a nice sear on the shrimp.  They won't take long- 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Prepare the Primo to 400 degrees or so.  Once you put the shrimp on don’t go very far – they only need 2 to 3 minutes per side over direct heat.  For a quick sauce, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and whisk in the juice of a lemon and pour over the shrimp.  Serve immediately.

Alternatively,  if you are looking for “BBQ” shrimp, you could simply rub the shrimp with your favorite BBQ rub after they are peeled and deveined.  Once they are flipped on the grill, glaze them with your favorite BBQ sauce.
