For an extra smoky flavor, consider using mesquite or hickory wood chips while grilling. If you don't have access to a grill, these shrimp can also be cooked in a grill pan on the stovetop or broiled in the oven. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your desired level of spiciness. A pinch of smoked paprika can also add depth of flavor. Serve with a side of rice, quinoa, or grilled vegetables for a complete and healthy meal.
