Grilled Garlic and Herb Shrimp

Ingredients
2 tsp. ground paprika
2 T fresh minced garlic
2 tsp. Italian seasoning blend
2 T fresh lemon juice
1/4 C olive oil
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp. dried basil leaves
2 T brown sugar, packed
2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Directions
Whisk the paprika, garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, basil, and brown sugar together in a bowl until thoroughly blended. Stir in the shrimp, and toss to evenly coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, turning once. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grate and place about 4 inches from heat source. Remove shrimp from marinade, drain excess and discard marinade. Place shrimp on preheated grill and cook, turning once, until opaque in the center, 5-6 minutes. Serve immediately.

*I made these also for my husbands birthday bbq and I couldn't seem to get myself to stop eating them. These were SO good! Sure to be a hit at any bbq or get together.
