  • 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.
  • Serve and enjoy!

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.
