What is grilled shrimp on the barbie?

Grilled shrimp on the barbie is the Australian version of grilled shrimp. This recipe is inspired by a grilled shrimp recipe my husband and I love to order at an Australian steakhouse. Since we have 3 kiddos (soon to be four), we don’t get out as much as we used to.

So, we recreated it at home. We have been making this recipe for many, many years and decided it was time to share it with the Aileen Cooks family. Our grilled shrimp on the barbie recipe is made with a flavor-packed and slightly spicy seasoning mixture. It really makes this recipe, so you don’t want to skip it! We also use fresh lemon juice and melted butter on our shrimp prior to grilling. Yum.

I recommend grilling your whole dinner! Serve this grilled shrimp as an appetizer to a nice juicy steak and some grilled zucchini. To finish the meal, I recommend a yummy summer dessert like no-bake strawberry cheesecake or peach cobbler.

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons capers, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon pickle juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

If frozen, defrost shrimp by placing in a collander and running under cold water.
Skewer shrimp onto skewers so they are nestled together. Set aside.
Combine 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
Mix until combined.
Brush lemon juice on both sides of skewered shrimp and then top with the melted butter.
Sprinkle a liberal amount of the seasoning mixture over the shrimp.
Place the shrimp (seasoning side down) on a hot grill.
Sprinkle the shrimp with the remaining seasoning.
Grill for 3-4 minutes and flip.
Cook an additional 3-4 minutes, until shrimp is opaque and tails are pulling toward the body.
To make the remoulade sauce, combine all of the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl.

Notes

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes prior to using. This prevents them from burning.

Remoulade sauce can be made ahead of time. Store any unused sauce in an air tight container in the refrigerator, up to 5 days.

This recipe calls for jumbo shrimp. If using smaller shrimp, the cook time will be less.
