 1 tsp Paprika, ground, mild (spice)
¼ tsp Cumin seeds, ground
2  (ea. 0.11 oz) Garlic, raw

Preparation

  1. Serving size:
    4.60 oz (calculated)
    Notes: 4 oz of raw shrimp (about 6 shrimp, if using large black tiger prawns)
  1. Wash the peeled and deveined shrimps, then pat them dry. If you prefer, leave the shell on, just use accordingly more shrimp, about 1.2 times the weight. This will add more flavor, but is a bit fussier when eating.
  2. Mix together all the remaining ingredients to make a marinade.
  3. Marinate the shrimp for 20 to 30 minutes.
  4. Add the shrimp to skewers. If you are using wooden skewers and you intend to grill the shrimp, soak them in water for a while before adding the shrimp.
  5. Grill them on one side until they turn pink, then flip over and grill until fully cooked. Be careful not to overcook them, they shouldn't take longer than 1 to 3 minutes per side. Optionally drizzle on some of the remaining marinade while grilling.
  6. Alternatively, fry them in a pan. You can add the left-over marinade to grease the pan.
  7. Enjoy, for example with a side of guacamole, as a salad or pasta topping, or with anything you'd enjoy at a barbecue!
