HOW TO MAKE GRILLED LEMON GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP:
Start off by seasoning your shrimp and chopped vegetables with some coarse sea salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. For the veggies, I used a red onion along with yellow, orange, red and green bell peppers but feel free to use any color(s) you like.
To make the sauce, whisk together some lemon juice, melted butter and minced garlic. Add in some freshly chopped parsley and brush over the shrimp.
INGREDIENTS:
- Olive oil for the grill
- 2-3 bell peppers (a mix of colors - red, yellow, green or orange) cut into bite-sized chunks (about 1½")
- 1 lb (about 18) raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
- 1 red onion, cut into bite-sized chunks (about 1½")
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Coarse salt and ground pepper, to taste
- Metal or wooden skewers
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat the grill (or grill pan) to medium-high. Clean grill with brush and grease grates generously with oil to prevent sticking.
- Thread the shrimp, peppers and onions onto skewers.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning and splintering.
- Season shrimp and vegetables with salt, black pepper and paprika.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice and parsley together. Brush lemon butter sauce on both sides of shrimp, reserving some for later.
- Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side or until shrimp is opaque and vegetables are tender or starting to brown just slightly.
- Brush remaining lemon butter sauce over the shrimp and allow to cook for 10 more seconds. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
