Lemon Garlic Grilled Shrimp

Are you tired of the usual grilling routine yet? I’ve got a new grilling recipe to share today that you’ll love, especially if you’re a seafood fan. It’s called Lemon Garlic Grilled Shrimp and not only does it taste amazing, but it’s quick and easy to make too!

I love seafood. Shrimp is one of my favorites, but sometimes, just like grilling, my usual recipes get too routine. So I love spicing it up with something new from time to time. And every once in a while a new recipe comes along that’s just perfect in every way. This Lemon Garlic Grilled Shrimp is just that.

I won’t claim that my whole family loves this. My kids aren’t the biggest fans of shrimp, but that’s fine with me because it’s more expensive. I consider shrimp dinners to be more of a special mom-and-dad dinner. The kids can have grilled hotdogs or burgers right?

Lemon Garlic Grilled Shrimp

Ingredients:

• 20 shrimp, large
• 1 (generous) tsp garlic, minced
• 1 tsp parsley, dried (or fresh, your preference)
• dash sea salt and pepper
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• ½ tsp ginger, powder
• 5 (or more) cherry tomatoes
• 1 zucchini, med, cut in 1” pieces
• 5 mushrooms
• ½ onion, large, cut in chunks
• 1 lemon, cut in half

Marinate the shrimp in a bowl with the garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, ginger, and olive oil for an hour in the refrigerator.

This is the longest part of this recipe, but (shhh) I’ve marinated for less when I’m in a hurry and it still tastes delicious.  

While the shrimp is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water so they don’t burn on the grill. 

Then you can start assembling the skewers in any arrangement you prefer with the vegetables. Allow for 4 shrimp per skewer. Then salt your skewers for a little added flavor.

Heat the grill to around 350 degrees and put your skewers on the grill.

Grill your Lemon Garlic Shrimp for about 5 minutes per side or until you see nice grill marks and the vegetables are cooked through. 

At the same time, place the lemon halves on the grill.

Remove your skewers and lemons from the grill; squeeze lemon juice over each skewer as desired.

Serve with rice or quinoa or enjoy your Lemon Garlic Grilled Shrimp all by itself!
