1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 Tablespoon peeled and grated ginger

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons sweet paprika

• In a mixing bowl, apply lemon juice, salt and turmeric to shrimp and set aside for 10 minutes.

• Pre-heat grill, once the grill is hot, place the shrimp pieces on the grill (3 minutes on each side) and grill. Serve with lemon wedges. OPTIONAL: You can coat shrimp with semolina and then grill.
