Grilled Blackened Shrimp (Paleo, Whole30, Keto)
4 minute read
Tender and smoky, these easy grilled blackened shrimp are a summertime staple and are good on their own, over a salad, or as an easy appetizer! Stick with Paleo and Whole30 spice blends since most commercial blackened spice blends contain refined sugars. Pair these with an easy mango lime sauce and you have a match made in heaven!
