Grilled Shrimp Recipe

The BEST Grilled Shrimp is the perfect weeknight meal because it is super quick, full of flavor, and so easy to make. Everyone will absolutely love and devour it!!

A couple of my most popular shrimp recipes include Creamy Tuscan Garlic Shrimp or Creamy Garlic Shrimp Alfredo. They both include my tried and true creamy homemade sauces and are a must try if you love shrimp!

Grilling shrimp is a great way to cook this very popular seafood. The grill gives them a fantastic smoky flavor and adds to the perfect tangy spices of the marinade. Due to the size of the shrimp, you will need to put them on skewers so they won’t fall through the grate. I prefer jumbo shrimp for size but this will also work well with smaller size of shrimp. The marinade is that best part of the shrimp and takes them to the next level!

This shrimp recipe is perfect for a quick meal during the week or a side dish along with steak or lobster. Marinating them is simple and so worth the juicy, flavorful result. This is the best grilled shrimp I have had in a long time. It will be a go-to meal for a long time to come too!
