Grilled Shrimp

One of the most surprising discoveries I’ve had as a mom was how much my daughter loved shrimp the first time she tried it. I’m not sure why I expected her to dislike it, but I was pleasantly surprised when she gobbled it all up! And I think this Grilled Shrimp recipe had a lot to do with it. I marinate them in olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and seasonings, then grill them for just a few minutes on each side until tender. Shrimp can go from juicy to rubbery in seconds, but this method makes it almost foolproof! I use frozen and thawed shrimp to keep costs down, and it’s a convenient option for all your summer cookouts and BBQs!

Easy Grilled Shrimp Recipe

Meat, including seafood, is not a staple in my house, but now that I’ve mastered this super flavorful grilled shrimp recipe (and the cost of shrimp isn’t half bad), maybe I’ll treat my family a little more often this summer! And I have to tell you, my coworkers in the studio devoured this recipe when I made it! I’m lucky we had enough grilled shrimp left to take these beautiful photos!

If you haven’t tried cooking shrimp on the grill yet, now’s the time. You only need a handful of simple ingredients, and most of the time (only 20 minutes!) is spent letting the shrimp soak up all that flavor from the marinade. Just don’t blink…they’ll be gone before you know it.
