👨‍🍳 Instructions

Combine olive oil, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, sugar, cayenne, and salt in a small bowl; stir until marinade is well mixed.

Thread shrimp on metal skewers and pat dry.

Brush with marinade and refrigerate.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Cook shrimp on the hot grill until the edges begin to turn white, 1 to 2 minutes.

Turn and continue grilling until shrimp is white and no longer translucent, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
