Colossal shrimp marinated in harissa and grilled to bold, juicy perfection for your next summer gathering.

# What You’ll Need to Cook:

01 - 1/4 cup harissa paste

02 - Juice of 1 lemon

03 - Salt to taste

04 - Black pepper to taste

05 - 2.5 pounds colossal shrimp, in shells

01 - Whisk together harissa paste, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until fully combined.

02 - Place the shrimp in a large bowl or sealable bag. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and mix thoroughly to coat.

03 - Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. For smaller shrimp, reduce marination to 20 minutes to 1 hour.

04 - Heat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

05 - Grill shrimp 4–5 minutes per side until opaque and firm. Optionally skewer shrimp before grilling.

06 - Remove from grill and serve hot with your choice of sides.

01 - Grilling shrimp in their shells locks in moisture and boosts flavor.

02 - For extra flavor, use metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers when grilling.

03 - Internal temperature should reach 145°F for properly cooked shrimp.

04 - Shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
