Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 12 Ounces (oz) can light beer
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) garlic, minced
• 1.5 Pounds (lb) medium shrimp, unpeeled
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) smoked paprika
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) cayenne pepper
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) lemon juice, fresh
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) parsley, minced

Steps

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the beer, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Add the lemon juice for a fresh zing.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal it. Place the bag in a bowl to catch any leaks and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke lightly, ensuring it's hot enough to sear the shrimp.
4. Grill the Shrimp: Remove the shrimp from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the shrimp on the grill pan in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning once, until the shells turn pink and the shrimp are opaque.
5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with minced parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrus kick.
