Eat like a Nurse Shark: Spicy Grilled Shrimp

Nurse sharks are known for being bottom-dwellers, preferring warm and shallow waters in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific oceans. Cruising the sea bottom for snacks, nurse sharks suck the sand, using their strong jaws to crush shellfish. Their diet consists mainly of fish, shrimp and squid.

We’re joining in on the nurse shark diet with spicy grilled shrimp. This recipe is surprisingly easy and fast, but is sure to become a favorite menu item. You can adjust the heat by adding more or less of the spice-heavy Sriracha sauce.

Dieters can rejoice, too, since this recipe is low-calorie AND Paleo diet friendly. So enjoy your shark week treat without any guilt.

Happy grilling! 🙂
