Ingredients
1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 lemons, sliced thinly crosswise
Directions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Mix thoroughly with a fork until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing gently to coat. Sprinkle the Cajun spice mixture over the shrimp and toss until every piece is evenly coated with the seasonings.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes. Thread the seasoned shrimp and lemon slices alternately onto metal or wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes total, turning halfway through. The shrimp will be done when they are opaque and cooked through (145F internal temperature), and the lemon slices will have light char marks.
