Scale

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.
  2. To grill: Preheat BBQ to 425°F. Thread shrimp onto skewers, place on a baking sheet, drizzle with extra marinade (discard the rest), and grill shrimp for 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
  3. For stovetop preparation: Heat 1 tbsp butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and marinade, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  4. To broil: Set oven to broil on high. Thread shrimp onto skewers, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with extra marinade (discard the rest), and broil shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side, watching closely for doneness.
