Spicy Skewered Shrimp with Grilled Watermelon
Spicy Skewered Shrimp with Grilled Watermelon
Created by Celia Barbour
If you don't have metal skewers, use wooden ones that have been soaked in water for 1 hour.

Servings: Serves 4
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons hot paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp , peeled and deveined (about 36 shrimp)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 seedless watermelon , cut into quarters, then sliced into 1-inch-thick wedges
  • 1/2 cup sugar
Directions
In a large bowl, combine paprika, cayenne and salt. Add shrimp and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Heat grill to medium-high. Divide shrimp among skewers, about 3 to each skewer. Brush with olive oil and grill 3 to 4 minutes each side, until pink and opaque.

Sprinkle one side of each watermelon wedge with sugar and place on the grill, sweetened side down, until sugar caramelizes, about 3 minutes (do not flip). Remove from grill. Top with skewered shrimp before serving.
