A flavorful and spicy shrimp recipe perfect for grilling enthusiasts.
Prepare the shrimp by washing them thoroughly and patting them dry.
Ensure the shrimp are deveined for the best texture and presentation.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers, placing 4-6 shrimp per skewer.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant.
Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the garlic.
Transfer the sautéed mixture to a blender. Add the habanero peppers, cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, black pepper, paprika, cumin, and brown sugar. Blend until smooth.
Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer habanero peppers.
Brush the marinade onto the shrimp skewers, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
Cover the skewers with plastic wrap to prevent the marinade from drying out.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp skewers until they are opaque and slightly charred, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender and juicy.
Serve the shrimp skewers hot, garnished with a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Pair with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
