Juicy shrimp are tossed in a simple marinade, grilled until tender, and drizzled with garlic butter for serving.
Ingredients for Grilled Shrimp
Shrimp: This recipe works well with either large or medium shrimp. I prefer larger shrimp for skewering. To save time, purchase peeled and deveined shrimp; I like the tails on. Thaw and drain frozen shrimp before using. Oil: The base of the shrimp marinade is olive oil, however, any neutral oil will work. Garlic: These shrimp have a double dose of garlic – fresh is best if possible! Seasoning: Herbs, a bit of lemon juice, and tomato paste add flavor the the marinade. Butter: Use salted butter if possible or add a pinch of salt if your butter is unsalted. I use parsley but if you have other fresh herbs like basil or cilantro, they also taste great in the garlic butter.

While I love the dollar store for many items, I find that the cheaper skewers rust. © SpendWithPennies.com. Content and photographs are copyright protected.
