Ingredients
  

  • 15 to 20 oz Raw Fresh Shrimp - (about 35 to 50 pieces depending on the size) use medium to large size - if frozen, completely thaw first
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp Good Fruity Olive Oil
  • ½ tsp Smoky Paprika
  • ½ tsp Onion Powder
  • ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Coarse Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Cracked Pepper
  • 2 cups Fresh Broccoli Florets - steamed for 5 minutes and drained
  • 2½ to 3 cups Your Favorite Steamed Rice - cooked and prepared according to package directions

Instructions
 

  • Add fresh raw shrimp pieces to a medium bowl. Toss in Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, smoky paprika, coarse salt, and cracked pepper. Toss the shrimp in with these ingredients until evenly coated.c
  • Grab 5 metal skewers (if using wood, dip them in a tall glass of water for 30 minutes to an hour prior to grilling to prevent burning). Slip on about 6 to 8 shrimp per skewer.
  • Working on a pre-heated grill, spray the grill grate (or gill pan) with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Grill shrimp skewers over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes and then flip once. Cook for one more minute on the second side. Remove from grill, cover lightly with a sheet of foil and set aside.
  • Prepare the grilled shrimp and broccoli rice bowls. Spoon about half a cup of your favorite prepared steamed rice into each bowl.
  • Top the rice bowls with fresh steamed broccoli florets. Now, using your tongs, slide the juicy shrimp pieces off of the skewer and top the broccoli and rice with the freshly grilled plump shrimp. 
  • Finish by drizzling soy sauce on top and garnish with minced parsley or minced cilantro as desired. You might also drizzle the finished grilled shrimp with a dash of fresh lemon juice or lime juice for added brightness. For spicy flavor add a drizzle of spicy hot chili Sriracha sauce. Serve hot.
