Yield: 4 servings

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
• 1/4 teaspoon white sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt to taste
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

Directions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, sugar, cayenne, and a pinch of salt until the marinade is smooth and well blended.
2. Step 2: Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then brush generously with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator to chill while the grill heats up.
3. Step 3: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
4. Step 4: Place the shrimp skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the edges just start to turn white.
5. Step 5: Flip the skewers and continue grilling for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque and no longer translucent.
6. Step 6: Serve the shrimp warm, straight from the grill.
