Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 0.5 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
- 8 pieces skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the shrimp to absorb the flavors.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced for even cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the shrimp.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Texas Roadhouse-inspired grilled shrimp!
