Ingredients

Shrimp and Seasoning

  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Lemon Butter Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For Serving

  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp seasoning: Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure even searing. Toss the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Preheat the griddle: Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat for several minutes to ensure it’s hot enough to sear the shrimp properly.
  3. Sear the shrimp: Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on the griddle. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side until pink and opaque, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until fully cooked through and firm to the touch.
  4. Create the lemon butter sauce: Move the cooked shrimp to one side of the griddle. On a cooler section, add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  5. Add flavorings: Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, and optional red pepper flakes into the melted butter and garlic mixture to create a bright and flavorful sauce.
  6. Toss and serve: Mix the shrimp through the lemon butter sauce on the griddle ensuring they are well coated. Remove from heat immediately and serve hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Avoid overcrowding the griddle to ensure the shrimp sear properly instead of steaming. Cook in batches if needed.
  • Large or jumbo shrimp are ideal for griddle cooking as they hold up well and cook quickly.
  • Shrimp is done when opaque and firm; overcooking will make them rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp alongside grilled vegetables, rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
