🛒 Ingredients

🔥 Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp

6

Pat the shrimp dry using paper towels.

In a bowl, combine:

• Garlic
• Paprika
• Salt & pepper

Add the shrimp and toss until fully coated.

In another bowl, mix:

👉 Dry shrimp helps the coating stick better and creates more crispiness.

🍢 Step 2: Assemble the Skewers
