Ingredients:
For the Shrimp:
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Lemon-Herb Aioli:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
Prepare the Shrimp:
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Make the Lemon-Herb Aioli:
In a separate small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper.
Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Serve:
Plate the grilled shrimp alongside the lemon-herb aioli.
Tips:
For an extra crispy texture, consider air frying the shrimp for 10-12 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
Adjust the heat level by varying the amount of red pepper flakes used.
Pair with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, pasta, or a fresh salad.
