Succulent, slightly charred Grilled Shrimp are one of the simple pleasures of summer—if you know how to grill them the right way. This grilled shrimp recipe (complete with the best shrimp marinade!) will help you achieve grilled shrimp perfection every single time!
Why You’ll Love This Simple Grilled Shrimp Recipe
- Grilled Shrimp Is Fast. Like, lightning fast. So fast that it takes more time to fire up the grill than it does to cook the shrimp. (Might as well make some Grilled Corn or Grilled Broccoli since you took the time to preheat the grill though, right?)
- It’s Also Easy. Whisk together a marinade or Shrimp Seasoning and cook it. Your work is done.
- Shrimp Is Extra Yummy. While I love Grilled Chicken Breast and Grilled Pork Chops, grilled shrimp just hits different. (When it’s not grilling season, I love my Baked Shrimp Scampi and Air Fryer Shrimp!)
- You Can Scale It Up for a Party. Instead of the standard barbecue fare, impress your guests with a platter of grilled shrimp. Because it cooks quickly, it’s great for entertaining—and this grilled shrimp recipe pairs well with all kinds of light, summery cocktails like White Sangria.
- It’s Versatile. Make grilled shrimp skewers with your favorite veggies, pile them onto pasta dishes like Garlic Shrimp Pasta, serve them over a bed of Lemon Rice, tuck them into Shrimp Tacos, or dip them in warm garlic butter for a decadent dinner. (Who can resist Garlic Butter Shrimp?!)
