2 cloves garlic
1 medium shallot
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder
1 Tbsp molasses
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 Tbsp grapeseed or olive oil
1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
spray olive or grapeseed oil
4 green onions

Combine the garlic, shallot, paprika, chili powder, molasses, vanilla extract, ground cumin, salt, pepper, grapeseed oil and shrimp in a large zipper bag.

Toss the shrimp in the bag until well coated with the spices. This can be done up to 24 hours in advance and kept in the refrigerator. The shrimp will be best if they marinate for at least a few hours.

When you are ready to serve preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a large non-stick skillet in the oven and after the oven is hot spray the hot pan lightly with oil. Add the shrimp and green onions to the pan and return the skillet to the oven.

Cook for 7 - 10 minutes tossing the shrimp in the pan a couple of times. Serve immediately.
