Grilled Shrimp Recipe
Easy grilled shrimp recipe with garlic butter, perfect for weeknight dinners, over salads, or enjoy them as an appetizer.
Equipment
- 8 metal or wooden skewers
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs jumbo shrimp (tails on, peeled and deveined (weight after peeled))
- kosher salt ( and fresh pepper to taste)
- 2 tablespoons salted butter or dairy-free butter
- 1 large garlic clove (grated, minced or through a garlic press)
- 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 lemon (sliced into wedges)
- chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water at least 20 minutes.
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.
- Heat the grill over medium heat until hot, then clean and oil the grates.
- Meanwhile melt butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook on low heat until fragrant but not browned, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the paprika and remove from heat.
- Thread the shrimp onto the skewers and place on the prepared grill and cook until shrimp turns pink on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes; turn and continue cooking until shrimp is opaque and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and Brush the butter over the shrimp skewers.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- Hate making skewers? Skip them and use a grilling basket so the shrimp doesn’t fall through the grates. Get it hot, spray it with oil then add the shrimp and cook them 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- No Grill? Use a Skillet: You can make this on a hot skillet sprayed with oil on medium-high heat, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- Air Fryer: See my air fryer shrimp recipe. Air fry at 400F for 5 to 6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
