Looking for a fast, flavorful seafood dish that’s healthy and crowd-pleasing? This grilled shrimp recipe is a summer favorite—and for good reason! With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, you’ll have perfectly charred, juicy shrimp in minutes.

Whether served on skewers, over rice, in tacos, or tossed into a salad, grilled shrimp is incredibly versatile and always delicious.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the marinade:
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

2. Marinate the shrimp:
Add shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Let sit for 15–30 minutes in the fridge.

3. Preheat the grill:
Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

4. Grill the shrimp:
Thread shrimp onto skewers (if using). Grill for 2–3 minutes per side or until shrimp are pink and opaque with slight charring.

5. Serve immediately:
Remove from grill, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve with lemon wedges.

Why You’ll Love This Grilled Shrimp Recipe:

  • Ready in under 30 minutes
  • High-protein, low-carb, and gluten-free
  • Perfect for BBQs, meal prep, or quick dinners
  • Pairs well with rice, pasta, tacos, or salads
  • Big flavor with minimal ingredients

Tips & Variations:

  • Don’t overcook: Shrimp cook fast—remove as soon as they turn pink
  • Use metal or soaked wooden skewers to avoid burning
  • Switch up the flavor: Add chili flakes, honey, or lime zest to the marinade
  • Try different herbs: Basil, mint, or oregano all work great
  • Serve it with: Garlic butter, chimichurri, or avocado salsa for extra flair

FAQs:

Q: Can I use frozen shrimp?
A: Yes, just thaw them fully and pat dry before marinating.

Q: Can I grill shrimp without skewers?
A: Absolutely—use a grill basket or cook directly on the grates if large enough.

Q: How long should I marinate shrimp?
A: 15–30 minutes is plenty. Avoid over-marinating in acid (lemon juice) as it can break down the texture.

Final Thoughts:

This grilled shrimp recipe is a must-have for your grilling rotation—simple, bold, and bursting with fresh flavor. It's the kind of dish that feels fancy but takes almost no time to make!
