Grilled Lemon Garlic Shrimp

Quick, delicious, and healthy you bet!

The warmer months are here, and that means it’s time to break out the BBQ! We love to make this Grilled Lemon Garlic Shrimp recipe because it is a light and healthy meal, and can be served with a salad, as an appetizer, or just eaten on its own! You also don’t have to make this recipe on the barbecue, it works great on the stovetop.

Ingredients

2 lbs. shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tbsp. dried basil
2 1/2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 lemon, juiced (+1 additional lemon for serving)
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/3 tsp. red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
12 wooden skewers

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together.
Marinating is optional. If you’d like to marinate, you can let the ingredients meld together in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours.
Skewer the shrimp onto wooden skewers dividing the number of shrimp per skewer as you like (10-12 skewers).
On a preheated grill or grilling pan place skewered shrimp and cook 4 – 5 minutes per side or until shrimp is cooked through. Cooking time will depend on the size of your shrimp.
Serve with extra lemon, cut in wedges, on the side
