Hot and Spicy Grilled Shrimp

This is an easy dish to throw together with a whole lot of flavor!

Ingredients
1 large clove garlic
1 Tbs. coarse salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. paprika
2 Tbs. olive oil
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 wedges lemon, for garnish

Directions
Preheat grill for medium heat. In a small bowl, crush the garlic with the salt. Mix in cayenne pepper and paprika, and then stir in olive oil and lemon juice to form a paste. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with garlic paste until evenly coated. Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until opaque. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve. They work great under the broiler, too.
