  2. 2. Pat the shrimp dry and place them in a medium bowl.
  3. 3. Add the Maryland Chesapeake Bay Infused Olive Oil Blend, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika, then toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
  4. 4. Let the shrimp rest for 10 minutes while you heat the grill to medium-high.
  5. 5. Thread the shrimp onto skewers or place them directly on a well-oiled grill grate.
  6. 6. Grill the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until opaque and lightly charred.
  7. 7. Transfer the shrimp to a platter, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Use large shrimp so they stay juicy on the grill, and do not overcook them. The blend brings the signature Chesapeake Bay spice profile, so keep the rest of the seasoning simple and let the shrimp and lemon stay front and center.
