Party Shrimp

In a bowl or shallow dish, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, 1-1/2 tsp brown sugar, 1-1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1/4 tsp pepper. Add 1 pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined; toss to coat. Refrigerate 2 hours. Drain shrimp, discarding marinade. Place shrimp on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 4 in. from heat until shrimp turn pink, 3-4 minutes on each side. Kitchen Tip: To avoid rubbery shrimp (overcooking is a common pitfall in cooked shrimp recipes like this one), watch for signs they are done. The flesh will turn pink and firm. Act fast: They'll keep cooking for a minute or two outside the oven.
