Camarão Grelhado is a vibrant Brazilian BBQ dish featuring succulent grilled shrimp marinated in a zesty mix of spices and citrus. This dish is perfect for a summer gathering, bursting with flavor and high in protein.

Ingredients

• Shrimp (peeled and deveined) - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

7. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
