Play Video - 2:46
Al uses olive oil with a high smoke point in his marinade so that the shrimp doesn't burn, keeping the shell on to ensure the smokiest flavor possible.
Special kitchen equipment required: Grill pan
Technique tip: Leave the shells on for extra flavor.
Swap option: If you don’t have Old Bay seasoning, mix equal parts cayenne pepper and paprika.
