  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 0 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
– Skewers (wooden or metal)


Instructions

Creating Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Garlic Butter is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

5. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each shrimp.

6. Grill the Shrimp: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

7. Baste with Garlic Butter: During the last minute of grilling, brush additional garlic butter over the shrimp for extra flavor.

8. Remove from Grill: Carefully take the skewers off the grill and set them aside.

9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the skewers for a colorful finish.

10. Serve: Present the grilled shrimp skewers on a platter, and enjoy immediately.

With these clear steps, you are set to create a dish that is not only simple but also packed with flavor.
