This is the finest grilled shrimp due to its exceptional taste – it receives rave reviews from everyone!
The marinade incorporates ingredients that you probably already have at home, allowing the shrimp's flavor to truly stand out.
The shrimp turns out incredibly tender and cooks in under 10 minutes!
Ingredients for Grilled Shrimp
Shrimp: This recipe is suitable for both large and medium shrimp. I prefer using larger shrimp for skewering. To save time, opt for peeled and deveined shrimp; I prefer to keep the tails on. Ensure to thaw and drain frozen shrimp before use.
Oil: The foundation of the shrimp marinade is olive oil, but any neutral oil can be utilized.
Garlic: This shrimp dish features a generous amount of garlic – fresh garlic is preferable if available!
Seasoning: A combination of herbs, a splash of lemon juice, and tomato paste enhances the marinade's flavor.
Butter: It is best to use salted butter, or if using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.
I typically use parsley, but if you have other fresh herbs such as basil or cilantro, they also complement the garlic butter beautifully.

How to Grill Garlic Grilled Shrimp
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, toss to coat, and marinate according to the recipe below.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers.
Preheat the grill to medium heat and grill the shrimp skewers for approximately 3 minutes on each side.
Drizzle with garlic butter and serve.
Quick Tip
If you are using wooden skewers, I suggest soaking them to avoid them catching fire on the grill. Place them in a shallow dish (I use a 9×13 dish) and soak them while the shrimp marinates.
If you often prepare skewers, consider investing in stainless steel skewers. While I appreciate the dollar store for many items, I have found that the less expensive skewers tend to rust.
Serving Suggestions
Skewers: Present these skewers atop rice (or Roasted Potatoes) accompanied by a side of grilled vegetables.
Tacos: Utilize shrimp without tails to create shrimp tacos adorned with your favorite toppings.
Salad: Place these skewers over a fresh salad – or even better, a Caesar salad!

Notes
Avoid marinating the shrimp for more than 60 minutes. Excessive marination can render the shrimp mushy.
Refrain from overcooking the shrimp – cook only until they turn opaque.
If skewers are unavailable, shrimp can be prepared on a grill mat or in a grill pan.
Store any leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 4 days.
