Smoky Shrimp with Cilantro Butter
With just a handful of ingredients, this shrimp recipe couldn’t taste any better or be any simpler.This spiced up shrimp meal is so fast, it cooks up quicker than it takes to heat up the grill. And making it couldn’t be any easier.
To give the shrimp their first layer of flavor and some color, toss them with a smoked paprika paste before grilling. Then once grilled, the real power comes from the buttery sauce the shrimp are tossed in while they’re still hot from the grill.
Since grilling makes almost everything taste better, throw an ear of sweet corn on the grate to give it some campfire flavor. Then toss the kernels into lemon-flavored rice for the perfect side to soak up the buttery shrimp.
