To be the first to know and to get my most up to date recipes, follow my Instagram and visit my website. But in the meantime, let's make some Grilled Shrimp...

We're well into grilling season, so it’s about time I share my grilled shrimp recipe. Unless they’re fried, my next favorite way to eat shrimp is throwing them on a grill over an open flame. You get the perfect char and the perfect amount of smoke in every bite.

The best part about grilling shrimp is that they literally only take 2-3 minutes per side. Don’t go any longer, otherwise the shrimp will come out tough. Marinating the shrimp is really what takes the most time, and even that step is only 30 minutes of inactive work. What more can you ask for? This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or even a quick lunch.

Combine all the marinade ingredients to a bowl, whisk, and then marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes.

While the grill is preheating, skewer the shrimp.

Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side.

Once done, serve with a squeeze of lemon and warm butter (optional)
