HOW TO MAKE GRILLED LEMON GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP:

Start off by seasoning your shrimp and chopped vegetables with some coarse sea salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. For the veggies, I used a red onion along with yellow, orange, red and green bell peppers but feel free to use any color(s) you like.

To make the sauce, whisk together some lemon juice, melted butter and minced garlic. Add in some freshly chopped parsley and brush over the shrimp.

HOW LONG DO YOU GRILL SHRIMP?

Shrimp cook very quickly, so you’ll have to watch your shrimp to make sure they don’t overcook. Shrimp typically take about 2-3 minutes per side on the grill. You’ll be able to tell when the shrimp are done because they’ll turn pink and opaque.

WHAT SIZE SHRIMP DO I USE FOR THIS RECIPE?

These shrimp are the jumbo sized shrimp and usually come in a bag of 16-20 per pound. You can use a smaller size if needed and the recipe will still be delicious.

WHAT CAN I SERVE THIS SHRIMP WITH?

For a simple appetizer, you can serve this lemon garlic butter shrimp with some lemon slices and a sprinkle of chopped herbs. Or for a complete meal, add the shrimp over some pasta, cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a light and tasty meal.
